The reaction of [PtCl 2 (PPh 3 ) 2 ] with Na[HB(mt) 3 ] (mt = methimazolyl) affords the platinaboratrane salt [PtH(PPh 3 ){B(mt) 3 }]Cl( Pt II → B ), the first example of a metallaboratrane with the metal center in the +2 oxidation state. Base-induced dehydrochlorination affords the first d 10 metallaboratrane, [Pt(PPh 3 ){B(mt) 3 }]( Pt 0 → B ), based on an unprecedented pentacoordinate platinum(0) geometry.
