Phosphinoborane and Sulfidoborohydride as Chelating Ligands in Polyhydride Ruthenium Complexes: Agostic σ-Borane versus Dihydroborate Coordination

摘要

The chemistry of oborane complexes remains at an early stage of development by comparison to the analogous σ-dihydrogen and σ-silane families. However, since the isolation of the first o-borane metal complex in 1996, important findings dealing with B—H bond activation have been regularly disclosed.
