Reaction of the bis(dihydrogen) ruthenium complex RuH2(H-2)(2)(PCy3)(2) (1) with an excess of 9-borabicyclononane yields Ru[(mu-H)(2)BC8H14](2)(PCy3) (6) and the phosphine adduct (PCy3HBC8H14)-H-.. The new complex is characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. New X-ray data on 9-BBN dimer, from a measurement at 180 K, are also reported. DFT calculations (B3LYP) on Ru[(mu-H)(2)BC8H14](2)(PMe3) (7), the PMe3 analogue of 6, confirm the ruthenium (II) formulation with two dihydroborate ligands. The data obtained using PH3 or PMe3 as models for PCy3 in (PR3HBC8H14)-H-. are also discussed. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
