Manganese complexes borates

Apart from the di- and oligoolefm iron tricarbonyl complexes, which nowadays are frequently used in organic synthesis [71, 72], the chemistry of the readily accessible cyclohepatriene chromium and molybdenum tricarbonyls 2 and 3 was the focus of intense research efforts as well. Only a few months after the synthesis of 2 and 3 was published [58,59], both Hyp Dauben and Peter Pauson reported that these compounds react with triphenylmethyl tetrafluoro-borate in methylene chloride to give the tropylium complexes 4 and 5 in excellent yield (Scheme 7.1) [73, 74]. Later this method of hydride abstraction was also used for the preparation of the tropylium cation itself and subsequently led to the generation of several cationic rc-complexes of iron, manganese and cobalt [71, 72], The reactions of the cations of 4 and 5 with nucleophilic...
