H2 activation using the first 1 : 1 : 1 hetero-tri(aryl)borane†
Abstract
The novel 1 : 1 : 1 hetero-tri(aryl)borane (pentafluorophenyl){3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl}(pentachlorophenyl)borane has been synthesised and structurally characterised. This has been show to act as the Lewis acidic component in FLPs for the heterolytic cleavage of H2 with three Lewis bases.
