Reactivity of the Ni→B dative σ-bond in the nickel boratrane compounds [κ4-B(mimBut)3]NiX (X = Cl, OAc, NCS, N3): synthesis of a series of B-functionalized tris(2-mercapto-1-tert-butylimidazolyl)borato complexes, [YTmBut]NiZ†
Abstract
The nickel boratrane complexes [κ4-B(mimBut)3]Ni(κ1-OAc), [κ4-B(mimBut)3]NiNCS and [κ4-B(mimBut)3]NiN3 are obtained viametathesis of the chloride
