Mixed-sandwich Cp*Cr complexes containing poly(methimazolyl)borates (Cp* = C5Me5) : syntheses and structural and electrochemical studies

Reaction of the scorpionate salts K[HB(mt)3], Na[H2B(mt)2], and Li[HB(mt)2(pz)] with [Cp*CrBr2]2 (1) gave the 15-electron Cr(III) complexes [Cp*Cr{κ3-S,S′,S″-HB(mt)3}]Br (2), [Cp*Cr{κ2-S,S′-H2B(mt)2}Br] (3), and [Cp*Cr{κ2-S,S′-HB(mt)2(pz)}Br] (4) in moderate to high yields. These are the first examp...
