Dative bonds between transition metals and the archetypal Lewis acid BF3 were proposed as early as 1966,[1] but were called into question 30 years later.[2] However, more recent work by Hill,[3] Parkin,[4] Bourissou,[5] and Rabinovich [6] and respective co-workers has demonstrated that borane complexes of the type [LnMÀBR3][7] can be obtained from a range of late Lewis basic transition metals, and the nature of the dative metal–boron bond has been elucidated by experimental and computational studies. In addition, the metal–phosphine fragments {M (PCy3)}(M= Pd, Pt) have proven to act as versatile metal bases towards a range of coordinated boryl [8] and borylene ligands.[9]The heavier Group 13 elements are also known to form a variety of transition-metal complexes, in analogy to boron.[10] Despite the plethora of complexes with transition-metal–aluminum bonds, however, corresponding alane complexes [LnMÀAlR3] are exceptionally rare. Structural evidence for an unsupported dative transition-metal–aluminum bond is to our knowledge restricted to the ionic species [NEt4][(η5-C5H5)(OC) 2FeÀAlPh3].[11] Bergman and co-workers reported the synthesis of [(η5-C5Me5)(Me3P) IrH2 (AlPh3)], which, according to structural data, has a certain amount of Ir–Al interaction. This metal–metal bond, however, is supported by two bridging hydrogen atoms.[12] Given the pronounced propensity of zerovalent platinum to add to three-coordinate boron centers, we initiated studies to extend this chemistry to the higher homologue, aluminum. Herein we report the first neutral alane complexes with an unsupported dative bond. The reaction of AlCl3 with an equimolar amount of [Pt (PCy3) 2](1) in C6D6 was monitored by 31P {1H} NMR spectroscopy. A new resonance at d= 53.5 ppm (1JPtP= 3032 Hz) was observed that is shifted only marginally upfield with respect to that of 1 (d= 62.3 ppm, 1JPtP= 4161 Hz).[13] Corresponding reactions between Pt0 species and BCl3 or other boron halides usually proceed by oxidative addition of the boron–halogen bond to the platinum center, which is accompanied by a significant upfield shift of the 31P {1H} NMR spectroscopic resonances.[14] Thus, the chemical shift observed
