    Abstract

    The reactions of [RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3] or [RuH(NCMe)2(CO)(PPh3)2]ClO4 with Na[HB(mt)3] (mt = methimazolyl) provide the structurally characterized complex [RuH(CO)(PPh3){κ3-H,S,S″-HB(mt)3}], which hydrogenates ethynylbenzene to styrene with formation of the ruthenaboratrane [Ru(CO)(PPh3){B(mt)3}](Ru→B).
