Synthesis and Characterization of a Cationic Ruthenium Complex Featuring an Unusual Bis(η2-BH) Monoborane Ligand

The reaction of Cp*Ru(P i Pr3)Cl with MesBH2 (Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl), followed by chloride abstraction with LiB(C6F5)4·2.5OEt2 (LiBF20), afforded the crystallographically characterized complex [Cp*Ru(P i Pr3)(BH2Mes)]+B(C6F5)4 −; notably, this represents the first reported cationic complex to...

Zusammenfassung:The reaction of Cp*Ru(P i Pr3)Cl with MesBH2 (Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl), followed by chloride abstraction with LiB(C6F5)4·2.5OEt2 (LiBF20), afforded the crystallographically characterized complex [Cp*Ru(P i Pr3)(BH2Mes)]+B(C6F5)4 −; notably, this represents the first reported cationic complex to feature an η2-BH monoborane ligand, as well as a rare example of bis(η2-BH) ligation.
