Activation of N-H bonds by a molecular aluminum complex via metal-ligand cooperation is described. (PhI2P2-)AlH (1b), in which PhI2P2- is a tridentate bis(imino)pyridine ligand, reacts with anilines to give the N-H-activated products (PhHI2P-)AlH(NHAr) (2). When heated, 2 releases H2 and affords (PhI2P -)Al(NHAr) (3). Complex 1b catalyzes the dehydrogenative coupling of benzylamine to afford H2, NH3, and N-(phenylmethylene) benzenemethanamine.
