✦ Synopsis
We address the question of the similarity between the title compound and the newly discovered aluminocene sandwich complex bis( cyclopentadienyle)aluminum ( [ AlCpf ] + ). Ab initio SCF calculations of the structural parameters of the bis($-dicarbollide)aluminum anion are in good agreement with X-ray data. The calculated "B NMR spectrum allows a direct assignment of three measured signals and the theoretical signal range is consistent with experiment. The aluminum atom is strongly deshielded compared to the isolobal Cp* compound by about 170 ppm showing that the carbollide ligand exhibits a much weaker aromatic ring current effect than the Cp' ligand.
