Abstract
The synthesis of the Cu-borate complexes [(6Mes)Cu(HBR3 )] featuring the unusual [HBEt3 ]- (5) and [HB(C6 F5 )3 ]- (6) ligands is described. Experimental and computational studies show both compounds feature a direct Cu-H interaction, but that while 5 is two-coordinate, 6 displays an additional, stabilizing Cu-Cipso (C6 F5 ) interaction.Entities:
