Charge Transfer via the Dative N−B Bond and Dihydrogen Contacts. Experimental and Theoretical Electron Density Studies of Small Lewis Acid−Base Adducts

Abstract: The electronic characteristics of the dative N−B bond in three Lewis acid−base adducts, hydrazine borane, hydrazine bisborane, and ammonia trifluoroborane, are analyzed by an approach combining experimental electron density determination with a broad variety of theoretical calculations. Special focus is directed to the weak dihydrogen contacts in hydrazine borane. The Atoms In Molecules partitioning scheme is complemented by additional methods like the Source Function, and the Electron Localizability Indicator… Show more

“…By XRD of a single crystal, Goubeau and Ricker reported an orthorhombic Pccn (56) space group [10]. More recently, the structure was solved using an orthorhombic Pbcn (60) space group with all of the B, N and H atoms belonging to the 8 d sites; Further, the cell parameters were refined [24,31,32]. As shown in Table 1, the cell parameters a, b and c are in good agreement.…”

“…Dative bonds are represented by an RJI of at least 95 %. [13] The ELI-D is displayed for two different iso values in Figure 4. At Y = 1.4 the Te-Sn basin is not visible as the ELI-D value at the attractor position is 1.34.…”

“…One approach to increase the hydrogen content still further would be to replace the relatively hydrogen-poor anion by one with a higher hydrogen:boron ratio. Many strong hydrogen storage candidates exist among covalent boron-hydrogen compounds such as NH3BH3 [62], NH3B3H7 [63] and H4N2BH3 [64]. The B-N-H combination is not an arbitrary one but defines a distinctive family of complex molecular species that are stabilised by the dative bond between the strong electron-donating Lewis base, nitrogen and the strong electron-accepting Lewis acid, boron [65,66].…”
