Lewis bases are well known to stabilize electron‐deficient species. We demonstrate herein that the redox property of a monocoordinated aluminylene 1 featuring only four valence electrons for the shell of Al can be boosted by a Lewis base. The coordination of 1 with an N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) effectively shrinks the HOMO–LUMO gap, thereby enhancing the reactivity of the ensuing acyclic mono‐NHC‐stabilized...
