The transition-metal oxo complexes [VO(acac)2],
[{TiO(acac)2}2] and
cis-[MoO2(acac)2]
(acac = C5H7O2) reacted
with the strong Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 to
give the structurally characterized complexes
[V{OB(C6F5)3}(acac)2
],
[Ti{OB(C6F5)3}(acac)2
] and
cis-[MoO{OB(C6F5)3}
(acac)2]. The MO–B moiety is
essentially linear.
