An unprecedented, reversible coordination mode rearrangement: η3(B–H) vs. η1(Sn) stanna-closo-dodecaborate coordination
Abstract
The synthesis of the ruthenium stanna-closo-dodecaborate complex [Bu3MeN]2[Ru(dppb)(MeCN)2(SnB11H11)2] by an unprecedented, reversible η3(B-H) to η1(Sn) rearrangement of [Bu3MeN]2[Ru(dppb)(SnB11H11)2] is described and the product is characterized by multinuclear
