Heterobimetallic aluminum-copper and aluminum-zinc clusters were prepared from the reaction of LAl(SeH)2 [1; L = HC(CMeNAr)2 and Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3] with (MesCu)4 and ZnEt2, respectively. The resulting clusters with the core structures of Al2Se4Cu4 and Al2Se4Zn3 exhibit unique metal-organic frameworks. This is a novel pathway for the synthesis of aluminum-copper and aluminum-zinc selenides. The products have been characterized by spectroscopic methods and single-crystal X-ray structural characterization.
