The new perfluorinated tetraaryl borate [B{C6F4C(C6F5)2F} 4]- (3) has been prepared and characterized. The X-ray structural analysis of [C6H5N(H)(CH3) 2][3] confirms the tetrahedral geometry about the boron. The performance of 3 as a weakly coordinating anion in ethylene polymerization was evaluated and compared with that of B(C6F5)4 - and B(3,5-(CF3)2C6H3) 4-. The stability of 3 throughout polymerization was evaluated by analyzing anion residues in a polymer sample using mass spectroscopy.
