Expanding metallaborane chemistry:an octahedral BH_6 moiety supported through M-H-B bridges

摘要

The X-ray crystal structure of the complex [(triphos)Fe(mu,eta~4:eta~4-BH_6)Fe(triphos)]~+ in conjunction with spectroscopic data reveals a central unit formally described as BH_6~(3-);DFT calculations show why this ligand is stable for iron but not for the ruthenium analogue.
