Fig. 1. (a) Synthesis of [(POBBOP)(Ru)(CO)2(Cu)(Cl)]2 (2-Cu, POBBOP = 1,7-OP(i-Pr)2-2,6-dehydro-m-carborane). (b, c) Displacement ellipsoid plot (50% probability) of the [(POBBOP)Ru(CO)2(Cu)(Cl)]2 complex (2-Cu). (b) A general view (c) a coordination environment of Ru and Cu centers. Note the distorted square-planar ligand arrangement around Cu(i). Atoms belonging to isopropyl groups of the ligand arms are omitted for clarity.
