Because BF4− is a labile, non- or weakly coordinating anion, it is generally chosen by chemists who do not want the anion to interfere with the associated cation. Herein, we demonstrate that BF4− actually strongly binds to triazole-appended dipyrromethenes (TADs). In particular, HETCOR NMR experiments and DFT calculations were used to rationalize the results observed with anion titrations. Hence, special care should be taken when considering that BF4− is innocent.

Carbocations have played a central role in the chemical sciences for over a century. In a synthetic setting, most methods utilize stabilized tricoordinate carbocations, while there are far fewer examples of reactions featuring nonstabilized dicoordinate cations. Here, we provide an overview of recent developments in the generation of high-energy carbocations mediated by weakly coordinating anions and the C–H insertion reactions of such carbocations. Moreover, we discuss mechanistic studies of these catalytic C–H insertion reactions aimed at furthering our understanding of the reactive nature of these rarely invoked cationic intermediates.1 Introduction2 Background: Phenyl Carbocations3 Silylium/Carborane-Catalyzed C–H Insertion Reactions of Phenyl Carbocations4 Silane-Fueled, Weakly Coordinating Anion-Catalyzed, Reductive C–H Insertion Reactions of Vinyl Carbocations5 C–H Insertion Reactivity of Vinyl Carbocations under Basic Conditions6 Conclusion and Outlook

Cobalt(II) complexes of tripyrrin ligands can be transformed into cations by anion exchange using NaBAr F , a salt of a weakly coordinating anion. The complete characterization of these highly sensitive cations (probably solvate complexes) could not be achieved, but the coordination to donor ligands like nitriles or trialkylphosphanes stabilizes the cations sufficiently for the isolation of some single crystals. As the structural analyses of these donor-stabilized cobalt(II) tripyrrins reveal, either four- or five coordinate structures are formed depending on the type and size of ligand used.

<p>Here we report the surprising discovery that high-energy vinyl carbocations can be generated under strongly basic conditions, and that they engage in intramolecular sp3 C–H insertion reactions through the catalysis of commercially available weakly coordinating anion salts. This approach relies on the unconventional combination of lithium hexamethyldisilazide base and the commercially available catalyst, triphenylmethylium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate. These reagents form a catalytically active lithium species that enables the application of vinyl cation C–H insertion reactions to heteroatomcontaining substrates.</p>
