An alkyne analogue with Al : The first “dialuminyne” of formula Na 2 [Ar′AlAlAr′] (see picture; Ar′=C 6 H 3 ‐2,6‐(C 6 H 3 ‐2,6‐ i Pr 2 ) 2 ) was synthesized and characterized by X‐ray crystallography. The structure contains a planar trans ‐bent C–Al–Al–C array with an AlAl bond length of 2.428(1) Å and a bending angle of 131.71(7)° at Al.
