1,8-Naphthalenediylbis(dichloroborane) chloride: the first diboron chloride chelate.
01 January 1987
The synthesis and chloride complexing properties of 1,8-naphthalenediylbis (dichloroborane) are reported. This compound, prepared from 1,8-bis(chloromercurio) naphthalene and BCl(3), forms chelate complexes with inorganic and organic chloride donors as determined by B NMR. X-ray crystallography confirmed the presence of unprecedented B-Cl-B bridge bonds in the complexes.
