摘要:
The reaction of HB(NCH2PPh2)(2)C6H4-1,2 with [MCl2(PPh3)(3)] (M = Ru, Os) affords the six-coordinate alpha-borane complexes [MCl2(PPh3){sigma-BH-kappa(2)-P,P'-HB-(NCH2PPh2)(2)-C6H4}], in which the B-H bond remains intact while coordinated to the metal center. Replacement of the unique phosphine by pi-acceptor ligands, e.g., CO and CNC6H2Me3, induces B-H activation followed by spontaneous dehydrochlorination with the formation of the boryl pincer complexes (RuCl(CA)(2)({B(NCH2PPh2)(2)C6H4}] (A = O, NC6H2Me3-2,4,6).
