Transition metal complexes of the weakly coordinating carborane anion [CB11H12]−: the first isolation and structural characterisation of an intermediate in a silver salt metathesis reaction
Abstract
Reaction between CpMo(CO)3I and
Ag[CB11H12] eventually affords
CpMo(CO)3(η1-CB11H12),
via the dimeric compound
[CpMo(CO)3I·Ag{CB11H12}]
2 which represents the first structurally characterised
intermediate in a
