Abstract

The reactions of [RuClH(CO)(PPh₃)₃] and [RuH(CO)(NCMe)₂(PPh₃)₂]C1O₄ with [NMe₄][B₃H₈] provide the ruthenatetraborane [RuH(B₃H₈)(CO)(PPh₃)₂] [crystallographically characterized: monoclinic crystals of space group P2_1/c (Z = 4), in a unit cell of dimensions a = 14.424 (5) Å, b = 10.628 (4) Å, c = 22.987 (9) Å, and β = 97.86 (3)°]. The integrity of the RuB3 moiety is retained in the reactions with N-halosuccinimides, leading to the halo derivatives [RuX(B₃H₈)(CO)(PPh₃)₂] (X = CI, Br, I); however, reaction of the bromo derivative with Na[S₂CNMe₂] leads to rupture of the metallatetraborane and formation of [Ru(S₂CNMe₂)₂(CO)(PPh₃)].
