Abstract
Borane coordination, B-H borane bond activation, and borane catenation via metal-mediated dehydrocoupling to form electron-precise B-B bonds are reported. The reaction of trans-[M(IMes)2Cl4] (M = W, Mo) (IMes = 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene) with borates Li[BH3R] (R = Mes, Dur; Mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2 and Dur = 2,3,5,6-Me4C6H) afforded the complexes [M(IMes)(η2-H2BR)2(η1-H2BR)] (M = W: R = Mes 1, R = Dur 3; M = Mo: R = Mes 2, R = Dur 4). Three borane ligands are coordinated in 1-4 to the group 6 metal atom via five (σ-B-H) bonds. Reaction of 1 with the phosphines PMe3 and PEt3, respectively, led to the elimination of one of the borane ligands and afforded the hydrido (σ-B-H)-boryl bis(σ-B-H)-borane complexes trans-[W(IMes)(PR3)(η1-HBMes)(η2-H2BMes)(H)] (R = Me 5, R = Et 6), in which the metal atom inserted into one of the remaining σ-B-H bonds of the borane ligands. Reaction of 1 with an additional equivalent borane BH2Mes resulted in borane dehydrocoupling and formation of complex [W(IMes)(η4-BH2Mes-BMes-BMes-BH2Mes)] 7, featuring a unique B4 chain as a ligand. Reaction of trans-[W(IMes)2Cl4] with NaBH4 also led to B-B coupling, and the metallaborane cluster [{W(IMes)(BH4)}2(B5H9)] 9 was formed, in which two tungsten atoms bridge a B5 chain.

Abstract
In an effort to explore the coordination chemistry of the coordinative sulfur centers in arachno-ruthenaborane [(Cp*Ru)2(B3H8)(CS2H)] (arachno-1), we have thermolyzed arachno-1 with group-6 metal carbonyls [M(CO)5·THF] (M = Cr, Mo and W). The reaction of arachno-1 with [Cr(CO)5·THF] resulted in the formation of hetero-trimetallic triply bridging borylene [(Cp*Ru)2(μ-CO)(μ3-CH2S2-κ2S':κ2S''){Cr(CO)3}(μ3-BH)] (2), bridging boryl-borylene [(Cp*Ru)2(μ-CO){(μ3-BH(CH2S2)-κ2B:κ2S':κ1S'')}{Cr(CO)3}(μ3-BH)] (3), and sulfido bridged hetero-trimetallic complex [(Cp*Ru)2(μ-CO)3{Cr(CO)3}(μ3-S)] (4). In 2, one side of Ru2Cr-triangle features a μ3-BH ligand while the other side is quadruply bridged by a methanedithiolato ligand in an unsymmetrical fashion. Unlike 2, in complex 3, one side of the Ru2Cr-triangle has a μ3-BH ligand while the opposite side is bridged by a boryl ligand BH(CH2S2) in an unsymmetrical way (μ3-κ2:κ2:κ1) to the metal centers. Interestingly, when the similar reactions of arachno-1 were performed with heavier group-6 metal carbonyls [M(CO)5·THF] (M = Mo and W), it led to the formation of methanedithiolato bridged hetero-trimetallic chain complexes, [{Cp*Ru(CO)}2(μ-CO)2(μ3-CH2S2-κ2S':κ2S''){M(CO)2}] (5, M = Mo; 6, M = W) and sulfido-bridged hetero-trimetallic complexes [(Cp*Ru)2(μ-CO)3{M(CO)3}(μ3-S)] (7, M = Mo; 8, M = W), analogous to 4. In complexes 5 and 6, a Ru2M-chain is symmetrically bridged by a methanedithiolato ligand. On the other hand, in complexes 4, 7, and 8, a sulfido ligand coordinates to two ruthenium and one group-6 metal atoms in μ3-fashion. All the complexes have been characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, UV-vis, IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry and their structural architectures have been unambiguously established by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In addition, theoretical investigations provided valuable insights into their electronic structures and bonding properties.

Abstract
A di(o-tolyl)borylgold complex was synthesized via the metathesis reaction of a gold alkoxide with tetra(o-tolyl)diborane(4). The resulting diarylborylgold complex exhibited a Lewis acidic boron center and a characteristic visible absorption that arises from its HOMO-LUMO excitation, which is narrower than that of a previously reported dioxyborylgold complex. The diarylborylgold complex reacted with isocyanide in a stepwise fashion to afford single- and double-insertion products and a C-C coupled product. Reactions of this diarylborylgold complex with C[double bond, length as m-dash]O/N double bond species furnished addition products under concomitant formation of Au-C and B-O/N bonds, which suggests nucleophilic reactivity of the gold metal center. DFT calculations provided details of the underlying reaction mechanism, which involves an initial coordination of the C[double bond, length as m-dash]O/N bond to the boron vacant p-orbital of the diarylboryl ligand followed by a migration of the gold atom from the tetracoordinate sp3-hybridized boron center, which is analogous to the reactivity of the conventional sp3-hybridized borate species. The DFT calculations also suggested a stepwise mechanism for the reaction of this diarylborylgold complex with isocyanide, which afforded three different reaction products depending on the applied reaction conditions.

Abstract
The coordination chemistry and stability of aminoborylene ligands bearing different N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) stabilizing groups has been investigated with Group VI and VIII metals. NHC-aminoborylene complexes have been accessed via reduction of NHC-dihaloaminoborane adducts with Na2[M(CO) x] species (M = Fe, Ru, Cr, W). Imidazol-2-ylidene-stabilized aminoborylene ligands were found to afford thermally robust metal-borylene complexes, which are inert to oxidation, hydrolysis, and insertion of unsaturated substrates. Such ligands have additionally been demonstrated to be significantly more electron releasing than NHCs and other carbon-based ligands by infrared spectroscopy, and can be regarded as unique examples of highly nucleophilic borylene ligands isolobal to classical NHCs. In contrast, cyclic alkylaminocarbene (CAAC)-bound dihaloaminoboranes were found to be reduced by one or two electrons upon reaction with Na2[M(CO) x] species to form either a stable borane-centered radical, or the free CAAC-aminoborylene complex, which further reacts to form a carbonyl-stabilized aminoborylene. Borylene-to-CO migration was also observed upon reaction of a ruthenium imidazol-2-ylidene aminoborylene complex with B(C6F5)3, where the product borylene remains trapped by the Ru center.
