✦ Synopsis
The yellow-orange boratabenzene complex Cb*Co(3,5-Me 2 C 5 H 3 BNMe 2 ) (1) (Cb* = C 4 Me 4 ) was readily obtained from [Cb*Co(NCMe) 3 ]PF 6 and Li(TMEDA)(3,5-Me 2 C 5 H 3 BNMe 2 ). Methanolysis of 1 afforded Cb*Co(3,5-Me 2 C 5 H 3 BOMe) (2). Complex 2 reacted with MeLi and with BCl 3 to give the B-methyl analogue 3 and the B-chloro compound 4, respectively. The chloro compound 4 reacted with iBu 2 AlH, TlF, and LiSnMe 3 to afford the B-hydrido derivative 5, the B-fluoro complex 6, and the B-(trimethylstannyl) compound 7, respectively. A single-crystal structure determination of 7 gave an Sn-B bond length of 2.236(5) A ˚. The

Cyclopentadienyl and its derivatives (Cp ligands) are among the most extensively utilized p ligands in organometallic chemistry. In most organometallic reactions of transitionmetal complexes, the h 5 -Cp ligand plays the role of a spectator that stays tightly bound in h 5 fashion to the metal center
