Abstract

Reactions of the stannaborate salt [NBu4]2[SnB11H11] (1) with the organometallic electrophiles [CpFe(CO)2Br], [(C7H7)Mo(CO)2I], and [CpNi(PPh3)Cl] resulted in substitution of the halide to give the stannaborate coordination products [NBu4][CpFe(CO)2(SnB11H11)] (2), [NBu4][(C7H7)Mo(CO)2-(SnB11H11)] (3), and [NBu4][CpNi(PPh3)(SnB11H11)] (4) in high yields. Single crystals of the air- and moisture-stable products have been characterized by X-ray crystal structure analyses.
