Monomeric and oligomeric amine-borane sigma-complexes of rhodium. intermediates in the catalytic dehydrogenation of amine-boranes.

A combined experimental/quantum chemical investigation of the transition metal-mediated dehydrocoupling reaction of H(3)B.NMe(2)H to ultimately give the cyclic dimer [H(2)BNMe(2)](2) is reported. Intermediates and model complexes have been isolated, including examples of amine-borane sigma-complexes...
