title: Nucleophilic substitution on a Ru-coordinated Cp ring by a carborane anion.
abstract: The Cp ring in [RuCl(Cp)(PPh3)2] undergoes an apparent nucleophilic attack by the carbanion carb- (Hcarb = 2-Me-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane), to give an H-/carb- exchange process, which is favoured by coordination of the hydride to the ruthenium centre.
