Heterometallic Borole Complexes of Iron and Gold

The first heterometallic borole complexes of Fe and Au have been prepared by reaction of [HFe{η5-(1-phenylborole)}(CO)2]- (1) with [AuCl(PPh3)] in CH2Cl2, and the crystal structure of [(OC)2{η5-(1-phenylborole)}Fe{Au(PPh3)}2] (2) reveals an interesting orientation of the borole ligand. This complex...

Description
Summary:The first heterometallic borole complexes of Fe and Au have been prepared by reaction of [HFe{η5-(1-phenylborole)}(CO)2]- (1) with [AuCl(PPh3)] in CH2Cl2, and the crystal structure of [(OC)2{η5-(1-phenylborole)}Fe{Au(PPh3)}2] (2) reveals an interesting orientation of the borole ligand. This complex reacts with [AuCl(PPh3)]/TIPF6 in CH2Cl2 to give the new cationic FeAu3 cluster [(OC)2{η5-(1-phenylborole)}Fe{Au(PPh3)}3]PF6 (4) which has a tetrahedral metal core, as established by a wide angle X-ray scattering study.
