Preparation and characterization of chromium(II) tetrahydroborate–tetrahydrofuran (1/2)
Abstract
A convenient synthesis has been developed for the light blue adduct Cr(BH4)2.2tetrahydrofuran by the reaction of Cr(OBut)4 with diborane in tetrahydrofuran; the BH4 groups are covalently attached to chromium by double hydrogen bridges.
