Abstract

The structurally characterized (C6F5)3Al·OH2 (1) and (C6F5)3Al·OHCH3 (2) exhibit medium-strong intermolecular and weak intramolecular O−H···FC hydrogen bonds in the solid state. Both complexes have substantial stability in toluene solutions at room temperature, while the spectroscopic data of 1 show strong activation of the weak Brønsted acid H2O by Al(C6F5)3.
