Reactions of [Cp2WH2] with B (C6F5)(3) and Me2NB(CF3)(2), respectively, lea
ds to the formation of the zwitterions [CpWH3{eta(5)-C5H4B(C6F5)(3)}] (1) a
nd [CpWH2{eta(5)-C5H4B(NHMe2)(CF3)(2)}] (2). [Cp*2WH2] reacts with B(C6F5)(
3) and tBuBCl(2) to give the saltlike compounds [Cp*2WH3][B(C6F5)(4)] (3) a
nd [Cp*2WH3][tBuBCl(3)] (4).
