    Abstract

    The sequential treatment ofNa[H2B(mt)2] (mt = methimazolyl) with [Mo(pip)2(CO)4] (pip = piperidine), [Mo(CO)3(L)3] (L = NCMe, L3 = η6-C7H8) and [AuCl(PPh3)] provides the diheterotrimetallie complex [Mo2Au{μ-H 2B(mt)2}(CO)7PPh3)] in which each thione group of the H2B(mt)2 ligand bridges two molybdenum centers, one of which is also involved in a 3-center, 2-electron B-H-Mo interaction. This complex is also obtained directly from [Mo(CO) 36-c7H8)] and [Au(PPh 3){H2B(mt)2}] while the triheterotrimetallic species [MoWAu{μ-H2B(mt)2}(CO)7(PPh 3)] results from Na[H2B(mt)2], [W(CO) 3(NCMe)3], [Mo(pip)2(CO)4], and [AuCl(PPh3)].
