title: A fine tuning of metallaborane to bridged-boryl complex, [(Cp*Ru)2(μ-H)(μ-CO)(μ-Bcat)] (cat = 1,2-O2C6H4; Cp* = η5-C5Me5).
abstract: Room temperature photolysis of [(Cp*RuCO)2BH4(Bcat)], 3, generated from the reaction of arachno-[(Cp*RuCO)2B2H6], 1, with HBcat (cat = 1,2-O2C6H4), yielded a rare homodinuclear bridged-boryl complex, [(Cp*Ru)2(μ-H)(μ-CO)(μ-Bcat)], 4, confirmed by X-ray diffraction.
