Abstract
Through hydride or fluoride abstraction, the dication 1 reacts with BH 3 . THF (PF6-) to give monocationic complexes in which a hydrido (fluo ro) ligand bridges a W-W triple bond (W-W single bond). The unusually high electrophilicity of 1 arises from the combination of positive cha rge and metal-metal multiple bond. The counterion in each case is PF6- .
