title: Reactions of Zn bis-ferrocenyl-β-diketiminates with [Ph3C][B(C6F5)4].
abstract: The ZnMe complexes of bis-ferrocenyl-β-diketiminate ligands are prepared and the reactions with [Ph(3)C][B(C(6)F(5))(4)] are found to yield the salts [H(Ph(3)C)C(MeC(N(C(5)H(4))FeCp)(2)ZnMe] [B(C(6)F(5))(4)] and [CH(2)=C(MeC(N(C(5)H(4))FeCp)(2)ZnMe][B(C(6)F(5))(4)], derived from electrophilic substitution and hydride abstraction.
