Abstract

The novel three-vertex metallaborane [Ru(η–C₅Me₅)(PMe₃)(η²-B₂H₇)](1) has been synthesised by reaction of [Ru(η-C₅Me₅)(PMe₃)Cl₂] with NaBH₄; homologation is also observed in the reaction of [Mo(η-C₅H₅)₂H₂] with BH₃·THF, which forms [Mo(η-C₅H₅)₂H(η²-B₂H₅)](2); X-ray crystal structures of compounds (1) and (2) are reported.
