Abstract

A new class of bidentate ligands that feature oxygen donors, namely, the bis(2-oxo-1-tert-butylimidazolyl)hydroborato and bis(2-oxo-1- methylbenzimidazolyl)hydroborato ligands, [Bo^But] and [Bo^MeBenz], have been synthesized via the reactions of MBH ₄ with 2 equiv of the respective 2-imidazolone. Chelation of [BoBu^t] and [Bo^MeBenz] to a metal center results in a flexible eight-membered ring that is capable of adopting a "boatlike" conformation that allows for secondary M···H-B interactions.
