Extending the chain: synthetic, structural, and reaction chemistry of a BN allenylidene analogue.

α versus γ: [CpFe(CO)(PCy3)(BNCMes 2)]+, synthesized by halide abstraction, represents the first example of a BN allenylidene analogue, and features an unsaturated MBNC π system. Although DFT calculations show significant LUMO amplitude at the γ (carbon) position, primary reactivity towards nucleoph...
