Protonation of the metal occurs upon reaction of Me4C2(C5H4)2CrCO with [H(Et2O)2][B(3,5-(CF3)2C6 H3)4] at -70 °C in thf-d8. The diamagnetic Cr(IV) hydride intermediate was characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Its decomposition to a paramagnetic product mixture upon warming to room temperature is accompanied by the evolution of 0.5 equiv of gas that is 54% H2 and 46% CO. Crystals of the borate salt of the 17e- ansa-chromocenium carbonyl cation [Me4C2(C2H4)2CrCO]+ were isolated from the product mixture for a molecular structure determination.
