Abstract

Reaction of Li[C5H5B–Ph] with [RhCl(C2H4)2]2 gives [C5H5B–Ph]Rh(C2H4)2 1 in 91% yield; similarly, Li[C5H5B–NMe2] with [RhCl(C2H4)2]2 gives [C5H5B–NMe2]Rh(C2H4 )2 2 in 85% yield; single crystal X-ray analysis studies of 1 and 2 show a molecular geometry analogous to those of the Cp and Cp* complexes; the use of 1 and 2 in promoting alkane boration was evaluated against the activity of Cp*Rh(C2H4)2 3; the boratabenzene complexes 1 and 2 show faster initiation, but yield less thermally stable catalysts than 3.
