Abstract
The syntheses and first structural characterization of terminal (diisopropylamino)borylene complexes are reported. The 11B NMR chemical shifts for these novel systems (δB 93.8 and 90.2 for [Cp’Fe(CO)2(BNiPr2)][BArf4 ], 3, and [CpRu(CO)2(BNiPr2)][BArf4 ], 4, respectively) are ca. 40 ppm downfield of those measured for the boryl precursor complexes, consistent with observations for related trimethylsilyl and cyclohexylamino substituted compounds. Structurally, the linearity of the M – B – N fragment in each case and the marked shortening of theM–B bonds (cf. the single bonds found in boryl complexes CpFe(CO)2(BNiPr2)Cl, 1b, and CpRu(CO)2(BNiPr2)Cl, 2) reflect the fact that theM–B bond order in borylene systems 3 and 4 is between one and two.
