Abstract

The reaction of [RuCl2(PPh3)3] with K[HB(pz)3] (pz = pyrazol-1-yl) affords [RuCl(PPh3)2{k3-HB(pz)3}] [crystallographically characterized with monoclinic crystals of space group P21/a, Z = 8, in a unit cell of dimensions a = 19.75 (1) Å, b = 22.48 (1) Å, c = 20.283 (7) Å, and β = 112.94 (3)°], which upon treatment with NR4[B3H8] (R = Me, Bu) provides the ruthenatetraborane [Ru(B3H8)(PPh3){k3-HB(pz)3}].
