New ligands : The first examples of a neutral heteroborane and a neutral metallaheteroborane acting as simple σ‐bound ligands to transition metals are described. In [HCo(1,2‐ closo ‐P 2 B 10 H 10 ) 2 (PEt 3 ) 2 ] (see structure, left) the P 2 B 10 H 10 ligand coordinates to Co through one P atom, and in μ‐[1,2‐{HRu( p ‐cymene)} 2 ‐7′,8′‐ nido ‐P 2 B 9 H 9 ]‐3‐( p ‐cymene)‐3,1,2‐ closo ‐RuP 2 B 9 H 9 (right) both closo ‐RuP 2 B 9 and nido ‐P 2 B 9 cages act as bridging κP:κP′ ligands.
