Abstract

The reaction between NaNH₂ and B(C₆F₅)₃ affords the amidodiborate anion [H₂N{B(C₆F₅)₃}₂]^-, the structure of which shows multiple intramolecular NH···F hydrogen bonding. Reaction with HCl affords [H(OEt₂)₂][H₂N{B(C₆F₅)₃}₂], while treatment of zirconocene dimethyls with [CPh₃][H₂N{B(C₆F₅)₃}₂] gives highly active alkene polymerization catalysts.
