Synthesis and structure of a metallophosphenium-borane(3) complex containing a bridging BH3 group

Combination of Na(C5H5)Mo(CO)3 with (C6H5)P(Cl){N[Si(CH3)3]2} in THF results in the generation of a metallophosphenium compound, (C5H5)Mo(CO)2{P(Ph){N[Si(CH3) 3]2}}, which in the presence of B2H6 or H3B·THF forms a borane(3) complex, (C5H5)Mo(CO)2{P(BH 3)(Ph){N[Si(CH3)3]2}}. The solid-state structure of the complex has been determined by X-ray diffration techniques and found to contain the borane group B-bonded to the phosphorus atom and μ-H-bonded to the Mo atom, thereby providing an unusual four-membered ring, Mo-P-B(H2)-(μ-H). Insights into the bonding are provided by qualitative MO analysis.
