Abstract

A novel trisphosphinoborate ligand containing fluorinated groups in the aryl ring bonded to the P donors has been synthesized. Its coordination to copper and silver ions has provided new complexes with catalytic capabilities toward nitrene transfer reactions that improve those of the parent unsubstituted ligand. The effect seems to be purely electronic, given that structural parameters have not substantially changed upon incorporation of the CF3 ...
