Pseudo-borole

The resulting deep blue, air-sensitive solid was then fully characterized as pentaphenylborole (94) and stood in sharp contrast to the reported properties of pseudo-borole 95 as an air-stable, pale yellow solid,93 prepared according to Eq. (30). 

However, the pseudo-borole 95 stemmed from another reaction of 96. Unknown to the earlier researchers who reported the synthesis of 95,94 their attempted preparation of 96 instead gave partly 98, a rearrangement observed previously,95 whereupon the reaction of 98 with PhBCl2 yielded phenyl(bis(2,3,4-triphenyl-l-naphthyl)borane, the actual identity of pseudo-borole 95 (Eq. 31). 

An increasing volume in the literature is devoted to pseudo-cyclopentadienes and pseudo--arenes. A general paper describes complexation of the cyclo-Ps anion. The synthesis of the first diazacobaltocene has been described. Tert-butyl-substituted diazaferrocenes have been prepared from substituted pyrroles. Bis-(borole)nickel complexes have been prepared from dilithium txnelediides. Carborane stabilised iron indole and iron thiophene complexes have been made. The electrophilic stacking of borataferrocene and bis(borole)cobaltate ions with -Cr(CO)3 and Mn(00)3 has been described. The synthesis and crystal structure of...
