EQUILIBRIA IN THE B(C6F5)(3)-H2O SYSTEM - SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURES OF H2O-CENTER-DOT-B(C6F5)(3) AND THE ANIONS [HOB(C6F5)(3)](-) AND [F5C6)(3)B(MU-OH)B(C6F5)(3)](-)
Aa. Danopoulos et al., EQUILIBRIA IN THE B(C6F5)(3)-H2O SYSTEM - SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURES OF H2O-CENTER-DOT-B(C6F5)(3) AND THE ANIONS [HOB(C6F5)(3)](-) AND [F5C6)(3)B(MU-OH)B(C6F5)(3)](-), Chemical communications, (22), 1998, pp. 2529-2530
Addition of water to the Lewis acid B(C6F5)(3) gives the neutral compo
und H2O . B(C6F5)(3). 2H(2)O while the reaction between B(C6F6)(3) and
KOH-H2O in the presence of dibenzo-18-crown-6 gives [K(dibenzo-18-cro
wn-6)](+)-[HOB(C6F5)(3)](-) which crystallises together with the adduc
t H2O . B(C6F5)(3); the new binuclear berate anion [(F5C6)(3)B(mu-OH)B
(C6F5)3](-) is formed as a salt with the cation [Ir(eta(5)-C5H5)(C8H12
)H](+) by addition of H2O to B(C6F5)(3) in the presence of [Ir(eta(5)-
C5H5)(C8H12)].
