Abstract

The reactions between B2F4 and the platinum and iridium complexes [Pt (PPh3) 2 (η- C2H4)],[Pt (dppb)(η-C2H4)][dppb= 1, 4-bis (diphenylphosphino) butane] and trans-[IrCl (CO)(PPh3) 2] afforded the difluoroboryl complexes cis-[Pt (BF2) 2 (PPh3) 2], cis-[Pt (BF2) 2 (dppb)] and fac-[Ir (BF2) 3 (CO)(PPh3) 2] respectively all of which have been characterised by X-ray crystallography. The isoelectronic platinum dppb nitrito complex cis-[Pt (NO2) 2 ( ...
