Ferrocene reacts with BI3 and BBr3 to give 1,1′-bis(dihalogenboryl)ferrocenes; the cyclopentadienylring in cymantrene is twice borylated by BI3. By halogen exchange with AsF3 and AsCl3, by methylation with Sn(CH3)4, by cleavage of (C2H5)2O, by redox reaction with (CH3S)2 and by reaction with (C2H5)2NH the corresponding diborylferrocenes are obtained. The air-sensitive halogenborylferrocenes form donor-acceptor compounds with Lewis bases. 1H, 11B and 13C NMR data reflect increasing π-acceptor properties with increasing Lewis acidity of the boryl groups.
Mössbauer‐Untersuchungen an Ferrocenyl‐dihalogenboranen (C5H5)‐Fe(C5H4BR2) (R F, Cl, Br, J) zeigen eine Abnahme der Quadrupolaufspaltung ΔEQ mit zunehmender Lewis‐Acidität der Dihalogenborangruppe. Dagegen bleibt die Isomerieverschiebung δIS konstant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
