Fluorinated tetraarylborates (FTABs) are known as one of the best partners of reactive cations and radical cations. In addition, fascinating effects of ionic substituents have recently gathered much attention from organic chemists. In view of these backgrounds, we newly designed alkali-metal 4-bromophenyl[tris(pentafluorophenyl)]borates1[M·L](M = Li, Na, K, Cs, MgBr; L = coordinating solvents) as synthetic units to explore reactive cations as zwitterionic compounds. Through this work, unique alkali-metal-centered sandwich structures of1[M·L] were revealed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. It should be noted that these are the first examples of the sandwich structure of alkali-metal borates. Their sandwich structures were induced by the M–Forthocoordination and the cation−π interaction of thep-phenylene moiety, which constructed a cation-capturing pocket. As a synthetic utility of1[K·C6H6], we have demonstrated that the lithium–bromine exchange reaction of1afforded the corresponding dianionic species2, which can be converted to boranuidyltriphenylmethanol3[K·DME] (DME = 1,2-dimethoxyethane) by the successive addition of benzophenone.
