Aluminum Iodide with Pyridine and Related Bases

COMPLEXES OF ALUMINUM IODIDE WITH PYRIDINE AND RELATED BASES [Pg.82]

Complexes of aluminum iodide with pyridine (1 1 and 1 3) have been described as being formed by direct reaction of the two compounds.1 However, the limited availability of high-purity A1I3 has hampered the development of the coordination chemistry of this compound. The synthesis described here makes use of an A1I3 ethereal solution, prepared in situ, as the starting material, and it is based on the reaction [Pg.82]

Similar compounds of 3- and 4-methylpyridine can be prepared with the same stoichiometry and yield. [Pg.83]
