Abstract
Trimethylphosphineborane (1) reacted with [CpRuCl](4) to lead the une xpected chloride transfer from ruthenium to boron affording a chlorotr ihydroborato ruthenium complex [CpRu(PMe3)(eta(2)-BH3Cl)] (2) in 44% yield. The structure of 2 was elucidated by X-ray crystallography. Rea ction of 1 with [CpRuCl2](2) produced a dichlorodihydroborato complex [CPRu(PMe3)(eta(2)-BH2Cl2)] (3) besides 2.
