Abstract

A series of metal complexes was synthesized in which arenes were dihapto-coordinated to π-basic metal fragments having the general form {TpM(π-acid)(L)}, where Tp = hydridotris(pyrazolyl)borate, M = rhenium, molybdenum, or tungsten, π-acid = CO or NO+, and L = 1-methylimidazole, 1-butylimidazole, pyridine, or trimethylphosphine. The arene complexes were shown to be significantly more basic than the analogous pentaammineosmium(II) arene complexes and were protonated by moderate acids to give remarkably stable η2 and η3 arenium cation complexes. A crystal structure of [TpRe(CO)(MeIm)(5,6-η2-2H-anisolium)](OTf) confirmed the η2 coordination of the anisolium ligand, but suggests a weak long-range interaction between the metal and C1 of the anisolium.
