P. Jutzi et al., Synthesis, crystal structure, and application of the oxonium acid [H(OEt2)(2)](+)[B(C6F5)(4)](-), ORGANOMETAL, 19(7), 2000, pp. 1442-1444
The reaction of LiB(C6F5)(4) with HCl in diethyl ether afforded the new oxo
nium acid [H(OEt2)2](+)-[B(C6F5)(4)](-) (1) as a colorless crystalline soli
d, which was characterized by NMR spectroscopy, by elemental analysis, and
by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The application of 1 is demonstrated i
n the generation of the complex: {[eta(5)-C5H3(CH2CH2NMe2)CMe2-eta(5)-C13H8
]ZrCH3}(+)- [B(C6F5)(4)](-) (3) containing an intramolecularly donor-stabil
ized alkylzirconocene cation.
