Reactions of transition-metal oxo complexes with B(C6F5)3: Crystal structures of [V{OB(C6P5)(3)}(acac)(2)], [Ti{OB(C6F5)(3)}(acac)(2)] and cis-[MoO{OB(C6F5)(3)}(acac)(2)] (acac equals acetylacetonate)
The transition-metal oxo complexes [VO(acac)(2)],[{TiO(acac)(2)}(2)] and cis-[MoO2(acac)(2)] (acac = C5H7O2) reacted with the strong Lewis acid B(C6F5)(3) to give the structurally characterized complexes [V{OB(C6F5)(3)}(acac)(2)], [Ti{OB(C6F5)(3)}(acac)(2)] and cis-[MoO{OB(C6F5)(3)}(acac)(2)]. The M=O-B moiety is essentially linear.
