Cationic ruthenium ammine complexes of cyanotrihydroborate and of hydrogen cyanide
Abstract
The synthesis and properties of the cationic complex cyanotrihydroboratopenta-ammineruthenium(II), [Ru(NH3)5(BH3CN)]+, acid hydrolysis of which leads to a species identified spectroscopically as the N-co-ordinated hydrogen cyanide complex [Ru(NH3)5(HCN)]2+ are reported.
