title: Yttrium metallocene borane chemistry: isolation of 9-BBN substitution and coordination complexes in a single crystal, {(C(5)Me(5))(2)Y[eta(3)-C(3)H(4)(BC(8)H(14))]} and {(C(5)Me(5))(2)Y(micro-H)(2)BC(8)H(14)}.
abstract: (C(5)Me(5))(2)Y(eta(3)-C(3)H(5)) reacts with 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, 9-BBN, to form single crystals containing both a borane-substituted allyl complex, (C(5)Me(5))(2)Y[eta(3)-C(3)H(4)(BC(8)H(14))], and a borohydride, (C(5)Me(5))(2)Y(micro-H)(2)BC(8)H(14), that can be synthesized directly from 9-BBN and the yttrium hydride, [(C(5)Me(5))(2)YH](x).
