1-Borabenzonitrile (B-cyanoboratabenzene)

Abstract

The reaction of 1-chloro-2-(trimethylsilyl)-1-boracyclohexa-2,5-diene with [nBu4N]C[triple bond, length as m-dash]N provides the 1-borabenzonitrile salt [nBu4N][C5H5BC[triple bond, length as m-dash]N] which in turn reacts with [Ru4(μ-Cl)4(η-C5Me5)4] to afford the sandwich complex [Ru(η6-C5H5BC[triple bond, length as m-dash]N)(η-C5Me5)]. The bonding of 1-borabenzonitrile is discussed with recourse to crystallographic data for [nBu4N][C5H5BC[triple bond, length as m-dash]N] and [Ru(η6-C5H5BC[triple bond, length as m-dash]N)(η-C5Me5)].
