Influence of ligand steric bulk in the synthesis of transition-metal borylene complexes

The differing steric requirements of phenyl and mesityl substituents have been shown to influence reactivity in asymmetric transition-metal haloboryl complexes of the type (η5-C5R5)- Fe(CO)2B(X)Ar (R = H, Me; X = Cl, Br; Ar = Ph, Mes). Hence substitution of both halides in PhBCl2 can be achieved by...
