Borane Mimics of Classic Organometallic Compounds:[(Cp*Ru)B_8H_(14)(RuCp*)]~(0,+),Isoelectronic Analogues of Dinuclear Pentalene Complexes

摘要

Like carbon,the element boron in combination with hydrogen displays rich catenation chemistry.In contrast to carbon,its structural chemistry must reflect a more complex electronic structure which is associated with having to satisfy the same number of valence functions as carbon with one less electron per atom.Hence,one fascinating aspect of metallaboraane chemistry is that several classic organometallic complexes that defined fundamental structural and bonding laborane analogues.
