Abstract

Depending on the nature of the amino group bound to the boron atom, the reactions of various aminodichloroboranes R2NBCl2 with Na[(η5-C5R′5)Fe(CO)2] yield either boryl or bridging borylene complexes of iron. The compounds [(C5R′5)(CO)2Fe{BCl(NR2)}] (1a, C5R′5 = C5H5, R = Me; 1b, C5R′5 = C5H4Me, R = Me; 1c, C5R′5 = C5Me5, R = Me) and [(η-BNR2)(μ-CO){(C5R′5)Fe(CO)}2] (2a, C5R′5 = C5H5, R = SiMe3; 2b, C5R′5 = C5H4Me, R = SiMe3) were isolated as orange (1a−c) or red (2a, b) crystalline solids, and characterized by multinuclear NMR methods and IR spectroscopy. The structures of 1c and 2b in the crystalline state were determined by single-crystal X-ray studies.
