Very few Type 12 Lewis acid/base complexes are known as pi-System anions are usually strong bases which will react with the Oxonium ion.

However, if acetate ion is considered to be a pi-HOMO Lewis acid (the negative charge is after all delocalised over three atoms) then ammonium acetate can be considered to be a Type 12 complex.
