B-H activation and H-H formation: two consecutive heterolytic processes on an osmium-hydrogensulfide bond

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Sep 4;49(68):7543-5. doi: 10.1039/c3cc44102d.

Abstract

Heterolytic B-H activation and H-H formation on an Os-SH bond give borylthiolate-dihydrogen derivatives. These species exchange borylthiol by borane to afford σ-borane derivatives or release H2 and undergo a hydride-boryl exchange to yield boryl-hydrogensulfide complexes depending on the boryl group bonded to the sulfur atom.
