Borate ligand derived from CS2 unveiling ruthenium dithioformate and trithia-borinane complexes

Bimetallic Perthiocarbonate Complexes of Cobalt: Synthesis, Structure and Bonding

“…By using a different chalcogen-based ligand (intermediate generated from CS 2 and [LiBH 4 ·THF]) with nido -[(Cp*M) 2 B 6 H 10 ] (M = Co and Rh), unique dimetalladecaborane(14) analogues containing di(thioboralane)-thione {B 2 CS 3 } and di(thioborolane) {B 2 S 2 CH 2 } moieties were isolated [ 21 ]. Very recently, the reactivity of a borate ligand derived from CS 2 with κ 2 -N,S-chelated ruthenium borate complexes, [Ph 3 P( κ 2 -N,S-L)Ru{ κ 3 -H,S,S′-H 2 B(L) 2 }] (L = C 7 H 4 NS 2 , C 5 H 4 NS), has been investigated [ 24 ]. Therefore, we pursued this chemistry, reacting the cobalt borate complex [{Cp*CoPh}{ µ -TePh}{ µ -TeBH 3 - ĸ 2 Te,H}{Cp*Co}] ( 1 ) [ 19 ] with CS 2 .…”
