Co-complexation of equimolar amounts of 1-alkali-metal-2-tertbutyldihydropyridines with AlMe3 in the presence of a polydentate N-donor ligand has delivered four crystallographically verified alkali-metal aluminates [donor·AM(m-tBuDHP)AlMe3]n (1, AM = Li, donor = TMEDA, n = 1; 2, AM = Na, donor = PMDETA, n = 1; 3, AM = K, donor = PMDETA, n = 2; 4, AM = Cs, donor = PMDETA, n = Ꚙ; TMEDA = N,N,N’,N’-tetramethylethylenediamine; PMDETA = N,N,N’,N’’,N’’-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine). While the monomeric complexes (1, 2) and the polymeric complex (4) are thermally stable, the dimeric complex (3) undergoes a disproportionation process yielding the known ion-separated homoanionic complex [K·(PMDETA)2]+ [AlMe4]¯ (3a). Utilizing TMEDA as the N-donor resulted in the same disproportionation, but gave rise to two distinct solid-state aggregated forms of aluminate [K·(TMEDA)2]+ [AlMe4]¯, namely monomeric (3b) and polymeric (3b’) polymorphs, in which the anionic moiety acts as a bidentate chelator or monodentate bridge respectively to the potassium cationic moieties.
