    Abstract

    The reaction of 1-chloro-2-(trimethylsilyl)-1-boracyclohexa-2,5-diene with [nBu4N]CN provides the 1-borabenzonitrile salt [ nBu4N][C5H5BCN] which in turn reacts with [Ru4(μ-Cl)4(η-C5Me 5)4] to afford the sandwich complex [Ru(η6- C5H5BCN)(η-C5Me5)]. The bonding of 1-borabenzonitrile is discussed with recourse to crystallographic data for [nBu4N][C5H5BCN] and [Ru(η6-C5H5BCN)(η-C5Me 5)].
