Remember that new { property = "value" }; is the syntax for creating an anonymous type. As such, the property names defined within the type still have to follow the identifier naming rules. So using symbols such as '@', ':', '.' is prohibited.

Using the @ before an identifier isn't so much as an escape, but a feature of the C# language that lets you use keywords as identifiers.

So if you want to use highly customized attribute names, your only option is to pass an IDictionary. With saying that, I encourage you to to instead use the data- prefix for custom attributes. Not only is that standard, but the HtmlHelper has built-in support. Simply use underscores in place of the hyphens when defining your anonymous type, and the HtmlHelper will convert them.
