Abstract

Reaction of RECl2 (R- = C(SiMe3)2(6-Me-2-pyridyl)-, E = P or As) with LiAlH4 in THF affords directly bonded aluminium hydride-pnictide hydride complexes as weakly associated hydride bridged dimers, [RE(H)-Al(H)2]2; a strong solvent dependency of these reactions, which had previously been observed with the formation of the disecondary diphosphane in Et2O (E = P), is further confirmed by the formation of RASH2 from RAsCl2 and LiAlH4 in Et2O.
