Metal-ligand cooperativity (MLC) had a remarkable impact on transition metal chemistry and catalysis. By use of the calix[4]pyrrolato aluminate, [1]<sup>-</sup> , which features a square-planar Al<sup>III</sup> , we transfer this concept into the p-block and fully elucidate its mechanisms by experiment and theory. Complementary to transition metal-based MLC (aromatization upon substrate binding), substrate binding in [1]<sup>-</sup> occurs by dearomatization of the ligand. The aluminate trapps c ...[more]
