The nickel boratrane complexes [kappa4-B(mimBut))3]Ni(kappa1-OAc), [kappa4-B(mimBut)3]NiNCS and [kappa4-B(mimBut)3]NiN3 are obtained via metathesis of the chloride ligand of [kappa4-B(mimBut)3]NiCl with TlOAc, KSCN and NaN3, respectively; the Ni-->B bond in these complexes is a site of reactivity, thereby providing a means of synthesizing nickel complexes that feature B-functionalized tris(mercaptoimidazolyl)borate derivatives, [YTmBut]NiZ.

Bifunctional EH activation offers a promising approach for the design of two-electron-reduction catalysts with late first-row metals, such as Ni. To this end, we have been pursuing H2 activation reactions at late-metal boratranes and herein describe a diphosphine-borane-supported Ni-(H2 ) complex, [((Ph) DPB(iPr) )Ni(H2 )], which has been characterized in solution. (1) H NMR spectroscopy confirms the presence of an intact H2 ligand.

Heating of 6-methylpyridazine-3-thione (HPn(Me)) and 6-tert-butylpyridazine-3-thione (HPn(tBu)) with potassium borohydride in diphenylmethane in a 3:1 ratio gave two new scorpionate ligands K[HB(Pn(Me))(3)] and K[HB(Pn(tBu))(3)]. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the methyl derivative K[HB(Pn(Me))(3)] revealed a dimeric species with one potassium atom coordinated by six sulfur atoms of two scorpionate ligands and a second potassium atom coordinated by three nitrogen atoms of one of the two ligands as well as by three water molecules. The reaction of K[HB(Pn(tBu))(3)] with nickel(II) chloride or cobalt(II) chloride in CH(2)Cl(2) led to the new boratrane compounds [M{B(Pn(tBu))(3)}Cl] (M = Ni 1, Co 3) where a formal reduction of the metal ions to Ni(I) and Co(I), respectively, and activation of the B-H bond occurred.
