Our initial CV of LAlI2 (2) revealed two irreversible reduction processes at -1.40 V and -2.25 V vs. Ag (Figure ). These two distinct cathodic peaks demonstrate that two separate reduction processes occur in a stepwise manner. To study the nature of these reduction events, we varied the potential scan rate from 50 mV s -1 to 300 mV s -1 (Figure ), with the peak currents for each increasing in a manner consistent with diffusion-controlled processes. Use of a ferrocene internal standard allowed for determination of the reduction potentials of 2, and these were calculated as -2.34 V and -3.23 V vs.
