Multiple metal-bound oligomers from Ir-catalysed dehydropolymerisation of H3B center dot NH3 as probed by experiment and computation

Multiple metal-bound oligomers in the dehydropolymerisation of H 3B·NH3 have been observed by electrospray- ionisation mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy using the catalytic metal fragment {Ir(PCy3)2(H)2}+. A computational study suggests that sterics dictate whether multiple dehydrogenation/B-N...
