Though it is somewhat routine practice in synthetic organometallic chemistry of the dand fblock to measure the redox potentials prior to reduction or oxidation reactions, this is seldom used within the sand p-block. One reason for this, is likely the difficulties with measuring redox potentials of highly reactive species and associated solvent/electrolyte/electrode compatibilities. As such we were interested in establishing an electrochemical set up that was compatible with lowoxidation state main group complexes, in particular those of aluminium. This will then allow us to measure the redox potentials to guide discovery and provide valuable mechanistic insight to the redox processes available to aluminium.
