Synthesis of the Ruthenaboratranes [Ru(CS)(PPh3){B(mt)3}](Ru→B)8 and [Ru(CO)(CNR){B(mt)3}](Ru→B)8 (mt = methimazolyl, R = t Bu, C6H3Me2-2,6, C6H2Me3-2,4,6)

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)(PPh3){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 = t Bu,...

Description
Summary: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)(PPh3){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 = t Bu, C6H3Me2-2,6, C6H2Me3-2,4,6) form irreversibly upon addition of isonitriles (CNR) to [Ru(CO)(PPh3){B(mt)3}]. The crystal structures of the ruthenaboratranes [Ru(CS)(PPh3){B(mt)3}], [Ru(CO)(CN t Bu)({B(mt)3}], and [Ru(CO)(CNC6H2Me3-2,4,6){B(mt)3}] are reported.
