Abstract
The reactivity of dinuclear iron complexes with bridging thiophenyl groups and various phosphorous donor ligands towards BF3 has been investigated.
Complexes containing BF3 were obtained by reaction of [uSC6H5Fe(CO)2L]2 with BF3. ET2O or with Cu(BF4)2.IR and HNMR provides strong evidence for a structure involving Fe2-BF3, a three-center donor-acceptor bond interaction.
