New polymer-bound haloarene chromium dicarbonyl isocyanide complexes: a successful study validating their use in chemistry

New fluorobenzene chromium dicarbonylisocyanide complexes have been synthesized and evaluated in terms of their 'in solution' reactivity towards some nucleophiles. For the first time the polymer-bound isocyanides have been found to be valuable ligands for anchoring haloareneCr(CO)3 complexes by means of their substitution for a CO group. The supported fluorobenzene complex reacted with nitrogen-nucleophiles.
