Abstract

The reactions of [(HMB)RuCl₂]₂ with K[HB(mt) ₃] and Na[H₂B(mt)₂] (mt = N-methyl-2- mercaptoimidazol-1-yl) led to the isolation of [(HMB)Ru{HB(mt)₃}]Cl (1) (ca. 66% yield) and [(HMB)Ru{H₂B(mt)₂}]Cl (2) (ca. 70% yield), respectively. The reaction of [Cp*RuOMe]₂ with Na[H₂B(mt)₂] yielded Cp*Ru[H₂B(mt) ₂] (3) (ca. 85% yield). Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses were carried out on all three complexes, together with cyclic voltammetric measurements.
