Abstract
Treatment of tricyclohexylphosphine(trimethylsilyl)borane with tris[(t riphenylphosphine)gold(I)]oxonium tetrafluoroborate [in tetrahydrofura n (thf) at -78-degrees-C] affords moderate yields of the title compoun d [(Cy3P)B(AuPPh3)4]+ BF4-, the cation of which features pentacoordina te boron atoms in the centre of a (pseudo) square pyramid with the Cy3 P ligand in the apical position (Cy = cyclohexyl).
