Expanding metallaborane chemistry: an octahedral BH6 moiety supported through M-H-B bridges

Abstract

The X-ray crystal structure of the complex [(triphos)Fe(mu,eta(4):eta(4)-BH6)Fe(triphos)](+) in conjunction with spectroscopic data reveals a central unit formally described as BH63-; DFT calculations show why this ligand is stable for iron but not for the ruthenium analogue.
