Electrolysis of borane anions at reactive metal anodes: a convenient route to metallaboranes
Abstract
Electrolysis of non-aqueous solutions of octahydrotriborate(1–) salts at copper or silver anodes in the presence of phosphine ligands leads to metal dissolution, and formation of metallaboranes. Metal dissolution occurs with zinc or cadmium anodes, but the complexes are cleaved by phosphine ligands.
