| Abstract: | The lithium tetrakis(methimazolyl)borate, Li[Bmt4], is accessible from the reaction of Li[BH4] with four equivalents of methimazole. The crystal structure of Li[Bmt4] supported by four water molecules is described. Reaction of Li[Bmt4] with [Ru(p‐cymene)Cl2]2 and subsequent treatment with NH4PF6 in CH3CN results in the formation of the complex [Ru(p‐cymene)(Bmt4)][PF6]. In addition, we report the result of the X‐ray structure analysis of the chiral Ru complex [Ru(p‐cymene)(Bmt4)][PF6]. |
