Even though Al+3 has empty d-orbitals in its valency shell ,it cannot extends its coordination number more than "6".Due to small size of Al+3 and presence of six water molecules around the Al+3 ion,there is no scope to extend its coordination number.Hence it cannot accept electron pair,therefore it cannot acts as lewis acid.
