Abstract

The 1-aryl-2,1,3-diazaboroles ArB(NCH₂PPh₂)₂C₆H₄ (Ar = C₆H₅ 1a, 4-MeC₆H₄ 1b, 4-FC₆H₄ 1c) result from the reactions of ArBCl₂ with 1,2-(NHCH₂PPh₂)₂C₆H₄ in the presence of triethylamine. The reactions of these new proligands in addition to the parent diazaborole HB(NCH₂PPh₂)₂C₆H₄ (4) with a range of metal precursors [Ru₂(µ-Cl)₂Cl₂(η⁶-1,3,5-Me₃C₆H₃)₂], [M₂(µ-Cl)₂Cl₂(η⁵-C₅Me₅)₂], [M₂(µ-Cl)₂(η⁴-C₈H₁₂)₂] (M = Rh, Ir) and [AuCl(SC₄H₈)] have been explored. Rather than forming chelating, bidentate mono-metallic complexes, these ligands are found to support the formation of bimetallic complexes without any indication of B–C activation (oxidative addition, transmetallation etc.). In the presence of excess 1a–b, iridium is found to form ligand bridged coordination polymers.
