Abstract
The triethylborohydride anion [HBEt3]− transfers intact from Na[HBEt3] to a calcium center to form the monomeric organocalcium complex [Ca(HBEt3){1,2,4-C5(SiMe3)3 H2}(thf)2], which is stable in solution and the solid state; the [HBEt3]− anion is coordinated in a multidentate fashion to the metal, which likely contributes to the failure of attempts to abstract the triethylborane moiety from the compound.
