Reactions between a series bidentate phosphines, with the general formula PPh2(CH2)nPPh2, and the air stable hexaborane(10) analogue [2,2,2-(PPh3)2(CO)-nido-2-OsB 5H9] (1), afford species of the type [{(PPh 3)2(CO)OsB4H7}-3-{BH 2PPh2(CH2)n(PPh2)}] (2) which contain a pendent PPh2 group. In solution 2 can undergo an intramolecular substitution reaction to form the species [{(PPh 3)(CO)OsB4H7}-η2-3,2-{BH 2PPh2(CH2)n(PPh2)}] (4). In spite of this, chemistry at the pendent PPh2 group may be studied and herein are reported the results of reactions of 2 with the organometallic reagent [(p-cym)RuX2]2 (X = Cl, I) to afford hybrid bimetallaborane clusters of the type [2,2,2-(PPh3) 2(CO)-nido-2-OsB4H7-3-(BH2PPh 2)CxHyPPh2RuCl2(p-cym)] (5) The species obtained include [2,2,2-(PPh3)2(CO)-nido- 2-OsB4H7·3-(BH2·dppe·Ru(p- cym)Cl2)] (5a), [2,2,2-(PPh3)2(CO)-nido-2- OsB4H7·3-(BH2·dppp·Ru(p- cym)Cl2)] (5b), [2,2,2-(PPh3)2(CO)-2-nido- OsB4H7·3-(BH2·dpph·Ru(p- cym)Cl2)] (5c), [2,2,2-(PPh3)2(CO)-nido-2- OsB4H7-3-(BH2·dppx·Ru(p-cym) Cl2)] (5d) and [2,2,2-(PPh3)2(CO)-nido-2- OsB4H7-3-(BH2·dppe·Ru(p- cym)I2)] (6). Species 5d was also prepared from the reaction between 1 and the known compound·[dppx·Ru(p-cym)Cl2. Species 5a-5d and 6 were characterized by elemental analysis, high resolution mass spectrometry and NMR spectrometry; the latter affording some novel features for this series of compounds. Structure determination by X-ray diffraction was not successful but a structure of the analogue [BH3·(PPh 2)(CH2)6(PPh2)·Ru(p-cym) Cl2] (7) is reported.
