The Synthesis, Characterization, and Fluxional Behavior of a Hydridorhodatetraborane.

ABSTRACT: The octahydridotriborate anion plays a crucial role in the field of polyhedral boron chemistry, facilitating the synthesis of higher boranes and the preparation of diverse transition metal complexes. Among the stable forms of this anion, CsB₃H₈ (or (n-C₄H₉)₄N)[B₃H₈] have been identified. These salts serve as valuable precursors for the synthesis of metallaboranes, wherein the triborate anion acts as a ligand coordinating to the metal center. In this study, we have successfully synthesized a novel rhodatetraborane dihydride, [Rh(η²-B₃H₈)(H)₂(PPh₃)₂] (1), which represents a Rh(III) complex featuring a bidentate chelate ligand fasormed by
