Abstract Complexes with the general formula [M II (NCCH 3) 6][TPFB] 2 [M= Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn,(TPFB)–= tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) borate] were synthesized and characterized both in the solid state and in solution. According to the spectroscopic data,[TPFB] can be considered as a truly noncoordinating anion. The NCCH 3 ligands are lost if the samples are kept at room temperature for extended periods of time. Thermolysis leads to the loss of the ...
