Abstract
The cationic triple-decker complexes [CpCo(1,3-C3B2Me5)M(C5R5)]+ (M = Rh (2), Ir (3), R = H (a), Me (b)) with the bridging diborolyl ligand were synthesized by the reaction of the sandwich anion [CpCo(1,3-C3B2Me5)]- (1) with the halide complexes [CpMI2]2 or [Cp*MCl2]2 (Cp* = C5Me5). The structures of [2b]PF6 and [3b]PF6 were established by X-ray diffraction. The nature of the metal—diborolyl bond in these complexes was analyzed using the energy decomposition scheme.
