    Abstract

    The reaction of [PtCl2(PPh3)2 with Na[H-B(mt)3] (mt = methimazolyl) affords the platinaboratrane salt [PtH(PPh3){B(mt)3}]Cl(PtII→B), the first example of a metallaboratrane with the metal center in the +2 oxidation state. Base-induced dehydrochlorina-tion affords the first d 10metallaboratrane,[Pt(PPh3){B(mt)3}]-(Pt 0→B), based on an unprecedented pentacoordinate platinum(O) geometry.
