Summary / Zusammenfassung 1 Summary/Zusammenfassung 1.1 Summary The aim of this thesis was to synthesize (and characterize) group 3 and group 13 metal alkyl and hydride complexes. These complexes were supported by aminopyridinato, guanidinato and phenolato ligands. Guanidinato ligand stabilized aluminum alkyl complexes were synthesized through alkane elimination. Aminopyridinato and guanidinato ligand stabilized aluminum hydride complexes were synthesized using H2 elimination. Mononuclear structures featuring tetrahedral coordination of the central aluminum atom were observed for the guanidinato ligand stabilized aluminum dialkyl complexes. The (Al)N-C-N(Al) bond angles in the corresponding complexes (Scheme 1.1) were determined using structural data. A decrease in the angle with increasing steric bulk of the ligands backbone was observed. Scheme 1.1. Experimentally observed (Al)N-C-N(Al) angles in guanidinato ligand stabilized aluminum dialkyl complexes (R = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl). Studies regarding the dependency of the used aminopyridinato and guanidinato ligand on the structure and stability of aluminum hydride complexes were carried out. The prepared aminopyridinato ligand stabilized alane complex adopts a binuclear, double hydride bridged structure. The aluminum atoms are five-coordinated in this compound. This complex is thermally unstable. Intramolecular ligand redistribution reactions were observed even at room temperature resulting in a mononuclear aluminum monohydride complex stabilized by two aminopyridinato ligands. Again, the aluminum atom was five-coordinated in this compound. To obtain thermally stable complexes, guanidinato ligand stabilized aluminum hydride complexes were synthesized. Based on available literature, guanidinato ligands are not likely prone to follow ligand transfer reactions. If the guanidine PipGuH (N,N'-bis(2,6- diisopropylphenyl)piperidine-1-carboximidamide) is reacted with alane, an isostructural (to the 1 1. Summary / Zusammenfassung aminopyridinato ligand stabilized aluminum hydride complex) binuclear, double hydride bridged complex was observed. Moreover, the reaction of a bulky guanidine ligand with lithiumalanate was studied. Formation of a novel guanidinato ligand stabilized alanate complex (81 % yield) was observed. This is a rare example of a σ-alane lithium complex. Guanidinato or phenolato ligand stabilized lanthanoid dialkyl complexes were synthesized starting from lanthanoid trialkyl complexes. These trialkyls were prepared by salt metathesis reaction of lithium alkyls with lanthanoid trichlorides. Hydrogenolysis with H2
