Abstract

Elemental selenium or tellurium react with trimethylamine alane, [Me ₃NAlH₃], in toluene affording the bis-trimethylamine adducts of the dimeric chalcogenidoalanes, [{HAl(μ-E)}₂] (E=Se, Te) isolated as the trans-isomers; ab initio molecular orbital calculations on model species show that N-donor Lewis-base solvated dimeric species are the energetically most favourable structures for these chalcogenidoalane species.
