A novel B–H⇀Ru agostic bond. Crystal structure of [RuCl{7,8-µ-S(CH2CH2)S-C2B9H10}(PPh3)2]·Me2CO

Abstract
The complex [RuCl{7,8-µ-S(CH2CH2)S-C2B9H10}(PPh3)2]·Me2CO 1 contains octahedral ruthenium(II), the sixth coordination site being occupied by an agostic B–H⇀Ru in the first example of B(3)–H⇀Ru coordination in the solid state; solution NMR studies show the presence of B(3)–Ru–H bonding.
