Abstract
The synthesis of the ruthenium stanna-closo-dodecaborate complex by an unprecedented, reversible η3(B-H) to η1(Sn) rearrangement of (Bu3MeN)2[Ru(dppb)SnB11H 11)2] is described. The product is characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The η1(Sn) to η3(B-H) reaction can be compared with S-P rearrangements in the coordination chemistry of heterocycles. It is concluded that stanna-closo-dodecaborate is a versatile ligand in coordination chemistry and the first example of a reversible η3 (B-H) to η1(E) (E:heteroatom) rearrangement is established.
