Since aluminum is the most electropositive element among the p-block elements, the construction of molecules bearing a dianionic Al-Al σ-bond is inherently highly challenging. Herein, we report the first synthesis of a dianionic dialane(6) 2 based on the Al2O three-membered ring scaffold, namely, an...
