Abstract

The high-yield product of the reaction of [RuC1₂(dmso), ₄] (dmso = dimethylsulfoxide) with Na[HB(mt)₃] (mt = methimazolyl) is not, as reported, the complex [RuCl(dmso)2{? ³-S,S',S"-HB(mt)3}] but rather the isomeric [RuCl(dmso) ₂{?:³-H,S,S'-HB(mt)3}], which features a three-center, two-electron B-H-Ru interaction, as also found for the complex [RuH(PPh ₃)₂{k³-H,S,S-H₂^B(mt)2}], which results from [RuHCl(PPh₃)₃] and Na[H ₂B(mt)₂].
