    Abstract

    The reactions of [RuCl(R)(CO)(PPh 3 ) 2 ] (R = CHCHPh, Ph) with Na[H 2 B(mt) 2 ] (mt = N-methyl-2-mercaptoimidazolyl) transiently provide [Ru(R)(CO)(PPh 3 ){κ 3 -H,S,S′-H 2 B(mt) 2 }] which each evolve to the ruthenaboratrane [Ru(CO)(PPh 3 ) 23 -B,S,S′-BH(mt) 2 }](Ru→B) 8 . The phosphine ligands may be selectively replaced to provide the complexes [Ru(CO)(L)(PPh 3 ){κ 3 -B,S,S′-BH(mt) 2 }] (L = CO, PMe 2 Ph) and [Ru(CO)L 23 -B,S,S′-BH(mt) 2 }] (L = PMe 2 Ph, P(OMe) 3 , L 2 = Z-Ph 2 PCHCHPPh 2 ) with, in each case, retention of the ruthenium-boron dative bond.
