1-Chloro-1-hydrido-2,6-bis(2-hydroxyethoxy)-1,3,5-tris- (triphenylphosphine
)-iso-closo-1-ruthenadecaborane-chloroform (1/1.2), [RuHCl(C40H45B9O4P2)(C1
8H15P)].-1.2CHCl(3), is a ruthenaborane based on an iso-closo C-3 nu stack,
with the nine-coordinate metal occupying the six-connected apical position
. The {RuB9} cage has two B-terminal -OCH2CH2OH groups and two PPh3 substit
uents.
