a Free energy profile for the hexacoordinated aluminum alkoxides 12c/12d (with α,α-dimethyl-2-pyridyl alkoxide as one of the ligands) catalyzed hydroboration. b Free energy profile for the 17c/17d (with α-methyl-2-pyridyl alkoxide as one of the ligands) catalyzed hydroboration. Gibbs free energies are in kcal/mol with respect to 12c or 17c. Computational details are described in the text.
