B. Gangnus et al., COMPLEXATION OF 1,4-DIHYDRO-1,4-DIBORAFUL VENES WITH NI(COD) AND PT(COD) FRAGMENTS, Chemische Berichte, 127(12), 1994, pp. 2393-2396
Reactions of the 1,4-diborapentafulvene derivatives 1 and 2a, b with M
(cod)(2) (M = Ni, Pt) yield the complexes [(eta(5)-1)Ni(cod)] (8), [(m
u,eta(2),eta(5)-2a) 'Ni(cod)'2] (9a), [(mu,eta(2),eta(5)-2b) 'Ni(cod)'
(2)](9b),and [(mu,eta(2),eta(5)-2a)'Pt(cod)' (10). Compounds 9 and 10
are the first examples of complexes with 2a, b as a mu,eta(2),eta(5)-l
igand. The X-ray structure analyses of 9b and 10 are described.
