Abstract

The prolonged reaction of [Rh{B(mt)₃}(η⁴C ₈H₁₂)]Cl, prepared from [Rh(η⁴-C ₈H₁₂)Cl]₂ and 2 equiv of Na[HB(mt) ₃], with a further excess of Na[HB(mt)₃] leads to formation of the first binuclear metallaboratrane salt, [Rh₂[B(mt) ₃]₂{κ²-S,S′-HB(mt)₃}]Cl. This compound, which is also observed as a decomposition product of rhodium tris(methimazolyl)borane complexes, affords the first evidence for bridging of transition metals by the methimazolyl sulfur donors.
