HR ESI TOF MS: Found: 797.1727. Calcd for
C35H4111BN8OPS2102Ru: 791.1719. Satisfactory elemental
microanalytical data were not acquired due to the evolution of
12 into 11 during attempts to recrystallise the sample for
analysis.

3 Hereafter, mt implicitly refers to N-methyl-2-mercaptoimi-
dazolyl and mtR refers to the various derivatives N-R-2-mer-
captoimidazolyl with varying N-substituents R. Similarly ttR
refers to N-R-5-mercaptotetrazolyl.

such as 1 are deemed to be zerovalent. For further discus-
