Sodium compounds containing large weakly coordinating anions are explored as ion conductors. The halogenated sodium-closo-dodecaboranes (Na2B12Cl12, Na2B12Br12, and Na2B12I12) are all isostructural (P
Treatment of the borane Br2BFc (Fc = ferrocenyl) with the Lewis base 4-methylpyridine and Na[BArf4] [Arf = 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3] afforded the boron dication [FcB(NC5H4-4-Me)3][BArf4]2. This compound is a ra
Lithium, sodium, and potassium enolates reacted with bisaminoboron halides to give bisaminoboron enolates 1a−5c. Specifically, the potassium enolate of tert-butyl methyl ketone reacted with bis(diisop
