Abstract
Multiple insertion of AlBr in bonds of AlBr3 leads to Al5Br7⋅5 THF—a new type of low-valent aluminum halide. The actual, ionic structure of the subhalide [Al5Br6⋅6 THF]+[Al5Br8⋅4 THF]− (the anion is shown schematically) appears plausible on the basis of density functional theory calculations. This and similar subhalides can play the role of potential intermediates in the electrolytic deposition of metals.
