Abstract:
This work deals with the reactions of metal carbonyl-halide adducts with Lewis acids [M(X → Lewis acid)(CO)aLb (L = PR3, π-Cp)]. Results are given regarding electric conductivity measurements in solution and IR spectra, as well as the preparation and study of a new class of metal nitrosyl-halide adducts, [M(X → Lewis acid)(NO)aLb]. A classification of Lewis acids is attempted following their electron-acceptor properties.
