Chem Commun (Camb). 2007 Mar 12:(11):1133-5. doi: 10.1039/b616814k. Epub 2007 Feb 6.

Abstract

The phosphonium borane [p-Mes(2)B(C(6)H(4))PMePh(2)](+) complexes fluoride in water containing 10% methanol with a binding constant of 1.0(+/-0.1) x 10(3) M(-1) to afford the zwitterion p-Mes(2)FB(C(6)H(4))PMePh(2).
