Transition metal tetrahydridoborates as models of methane activation: Synthesis and structure of Ti(BH₄)₃(PMe₃) ₂

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The X-ray crystal structure of Ti(BH₄)₃(PMe ₃)₂ shows that two of the BH₄^- groups possess unusual geometries involving interaction of the titanium centre with one B-H bond in a 'side-on' manner; this geometry resembles one proposed transition state for the approach of a molecule of methane to a transition metal leading to C-H bond cleavage.
