Cationic terminal borylene complexes: structure/bonding analysis and [4+1] cycloaddition reactivity of a BN vinylidene analogue.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Charge changes everything: The cationic terminal aminoborylene complex [CpFe(CO)2(BNCy2)] +[BArF4]- (1, Cy = cyclohexyl, ArF = 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3; Fe orange, B green, N blue, O red, C gray) was structurally characterized. DFT studies (see HOMO-2) indicate delocalized π bond...
