Dehydrogenative boron homocoupling of an amine-borane.
A meeting of borons: The homocoupling of a B-B bond in an amine-borane is reported to give a diborane coordinated to a RhI metal center (see picture; C gray/black, O red, P blue, B green, N orange). The pathway for the occurrence of this reaction was also studied using density functional theory to c...

| Summary: | A meeting of borons: The homocoupling of a B-B bond in an amine-borane is reported to give a diborane coordinated to a RhI metal center (see picture; C gray/black, O red, P blue, B green, N orange). The pathway for the occurrence of this reaction was also studied using density functional theory to calculate the free energies of each intermediate. Copyright © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co.
