[{Fe(PEt3)(3)}(2)(mu-H)(6)B][BPh4]: A complex containing octahedral hypercoordinate boron
The isolation and crystallographic characterization of and a dinuclear iron hydride containing a pseudo-octahe-drally coordinated boron atom (1) is reported. A description of the bonding in the cation has been obtained from density functional calculations and a topological analysis. [GRAPHICS]
