μ-Borole triple-decker complexes as catalysts for oxidative coupling of benzoic acid with alkynes. Structure of a hybrid rhodacyclopentadienyl/borole triple-decker complex
Triple-decker complex with a bridging rhodacyclopentadienyl ligand was described. Triple-decker complexes effectively catalyze coupling of benzoic acid with alkynes. Catalytic selectivity is determined by terminal ligands in triple-decker structure.
