Da. Hoic et al., CHEMISTRY OF BORABENZENE - EFFICIENT AND GENERAL-SYNTHESIS OF NEW NEUTRAL BORABENZENE-LIGAND COMPLEXES, Organometallics, 15(4), 1996, pp. 1315-1318
An array of neutral borabenzene-ligand complexes (ligand = pyridine, 2
,6-lutidine, Net(3), PMe(3), CN-t-Bu) have been synthesized in three s
traightforward steps from commercially available 1-(trimethylsilyl)-1,
4-pentadiyne. An X-ray crystal structure of borabenzene-PMe(3) is repo
rted.
