Amino-borane oligomers bound to a Rh(I) metal fragment
Coordination complexes of previously observed intermediates, H 3B·NMe2BH2·NMe2H and [H2BNMeH]3, in the transition metal catalysed dehydrocoupling of H3B·NMe2H and H 3B·NMeH2 have been isolated and structurally characterised using the [Rh{PR′2(η2-C 5H7)}]+ fragment. Their onward reactivity shows that further dehydrogenation is not a simple intramolecular process. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2010.
