Abstract

Anionic Pt(0) and Pd(0) complexes with unprecedented trigonal-bipyramidal geometry have been prepared and thoroughly characterized by experimental and computational means. Coordination of a σ-acceptor borane moiety supported by three phosphine buttresses enhances the electrophilicity of M(0) and triggers the binding of soft anions (X = Br, I, CN).
