Aluminum subhalides of the type Al22X20·12L (X = Cl, Br; L = THF, THP) are the only knownrepresentatives of polyhedral aluminum subhalides and exhibit interesting multicenter bonding properties. Herein,we report on the synthesis and structural investigation of the first chlorides of this type. Additional investigationsapplying solid-state 27Al NMR (MAS), XPS (of Al4Cp*4 and Al22X20·12L), and quantum chemical calculationsshed more light upon the structure of the molecules and possible Al modifications.
