title: Stabilization of ArSiH4(-) and SiH6(2-) anions in diruthenium Si-H σ-complexes.
abstract: Hydridosilicate anions ([ArSiH(4)](-) and [SiH(6)](2-)) were stabilized as ligands in diruthenium Si-H σ-complexes [{(PhBP(Ph(3))Ru}(2)(μ-Cl)(μ-η(3),η(3)-H(4)SiAr)] (Ar = 2-MeOC(6)H(4), Mes, Ph) and [{(PhBP(Ph)(3))Ru}(2)(μ-η(4),η(4)-H(6)Si)] (see picture). These complexes were formed under mild conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (see picture), NMR and IR spectroscopy, and computational techniques.
