TRIPLE-DECKER COMPLEXES WITH BRIDGING BORATABENZENE LIGANDS - SYNTHESES, STRUCTURES OF [(MU-C(5)H(5)BME)(FECP-ASTERISK)(2)]PF6 AND OF [(MU-C(5)H(5)BME)(RH(COD))(2)]CF3SO3, AND BORATABENZENE TRANSFER-REACTIONS, Organometallics, 15(24), 1996, pp. 5236-5241
The orange complex CpFe(C(5)H(5)BMe) (1a) was synthesized from [Cp*Fe
(NCMe)(3)]PF6 and Li(C(5)H(5)BMe) in 91% yield. Electrophilic stacking
reactions with metalloelectrophiles gave the triple-decker salts [(mu
-C(5)H(5)BMe)(FeCp)(2)]PF6 (4), [(mu-C(5)H(5)BMe)(FeCp*)(RuCp*)]CF3SO
3 (5), and [(mu-C(5)H(5)BMe)(FeCp)(MCp**)](CF3SO3)(2) with M = Rh (fo
r 6) and M = Ir (for 7). Electrophilic stacking of Rh(C(5)H(5)BMe)(COD
) (8) with [(COD)Rh(MeNO(2))(x)]CF3SO3 gave [(mu-C(5)H(5)BMe){Rh(COD)}
2CF3SO3 (10). The structures of the two triple-decker complexes 4 and
10 were determined by X-ray diffraction. Boratabenzene transfer reacti
ons were found for the heterobimetallic salts 5-7.
