Abstract

The reaction of [Ru(CH=CH₂)Cl(CS)(PPh₃)₂] with Na[HB(mt)₃] (mt = methimazolyl) provides the ruthenaboratrane [Ru(CS)(PPh₃){B(mt)₃}]. The reaction of [Ru(CO)(PPh ₃){B(mt)₃}] with CO to provide [Ru(CO)₂{B(mt) ₃}] is reversible, while the phosphine-free ruthenaboratranes [Ru(CO)(CNR){B(mt)₃}] (R = ^tBu, C₆H ₃Me₂-2,6, C₆H₂Me₃-2,4,6) form irreversibly upon addition of isonitriles (CNR) to [Ru(CO)(PPh ₃){B(mt)₃}]. The crystal structures of the ruthenaboratranes [Ru(CS)(PPh₃){B(mt)₃}J, [Ru(CO)(CN ^tBu)({B(mt)₃)], and [Ru(CO)(CNC₆H ₂Me₃-2,4,6){B(mt)₃}] are reported.
