Generation of cationic two-coordinate group-13 ligand systems by spontaneous halide ejection: remarkably nucleophile-resistant (dimethylamino)borylene complexes.
Spontaneous ejection of chloride from a three-coordinate boron Lewis acid can be effected by employing very electron rich metal substituents and leads to the formation of a sterically unprotected terminal (dimethylamino)borylene complex that has a short metal-boron bond and remarkable resistance to attack by nucleophilic and protic reagents.
