Abstract

Treatment of tricyclohexylphosphine(trimethylsilyl)borane with tris[(triphenylphosphine)gold(I)]oxonium tetrafluoro-borate [in tetrahydrofuran (thf) at -78°C] affords moderate yields of the title compound [(Cy 3P)B(AuPPh3)4]+ BF4 -, the cation of which features pentacoordinate boron atoms in the centre of a (pseudo) square pyramid with the Cy 3P ligand in the apical position (Cy = cyclohexyl).
