η3-, η4- and η6-Co-ordination complexes of the weakly co-ordinating anion tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate
Abstract
Single-crystal X-ray diffraction has established η3-, η4- and η6-co-ordination of the anion tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate (TFPB) in the complexes Ag(TFPB)(2,2′-bipy) (2,2′-bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine), Ag(TFPB)(1,2-C6H4I2) and Rh(TFPB)(cod) (cod = cycloocta-1,5-diene) respectively.
