Borane cations of bases with amide and cyanide substitution

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ic50110a042

A new series of borane cations derived from a variety of amides, some bearing important functioning groups, is characterized. New bis-borane and tris-borane cations bridged by cyanide groups are found to be stable species with definite linkage sequences. No evidence for equilibrium mixtures of isomeric cyanide structures is found.
