C , C '-Ru to C , B '-Ru isomerisation in bis(phosphine)Ru complexes of [1,1'-bis( ortho -carborane)]

We report herein the first example of the controlled isomerisation of a , '-bound (to metal) bis( -carborane) ligand to , '-bound with no other change in the molecule. Since the C and B vertices of carboranes have different electron-donating properties this transformation allows the reacti...

Description
Summary:We report herein the first example of the controlled isomerisation of a , '-bound (to metal) bis( -carborane) ligand to , '-bound with no other change in the molecule. Since the C and B vertices of carboranes have different electron-donating properties this transformation allows the reactivity of the metal centre to be fine-tuned.
