Summary:The synthesis of the fully fluorinated bis-anilido ligand N , N ′-bis-pentafluorophenyl-3,4,5,6-tetrafluorophenylene-1,2-diamine, 1 is described. Reaction of one or two equivalents of 1 with AlMe 3 gives aluminium compounds incorporating one or two ligands, the latter being the protonated form of a new weakly coordinating anion (WCA), 3 -H . Alternatively, reaction of 1 with LiAlH 4 yields the lithium salt of this anion, 3 -Li , which may be employed as a reagent for preparing the trityl and N , N -dimethylanilinium salts of the aluminate anion. All ion pairs are fully characterized and the use of 3 -Ph 3 C to generate titanium-based alkyl cations is also described. A new perfluoroamido aluminate weakly coordinating anion is described, along with useful reagents for its use in activating olefin polymerization catalysts.
