“…As 1 equiv of HY was added to the solution of 1 and 2 in CD 2 Cl 2 , the 1 H NMR spectra showed the disappearance of the signals between −6.95 and −5.54 ppm of the hydride ligands and the appearance of a new signal at about 4.6 ppm, which decreased on shaking and was attributed to free H 2 . 25 No new signals attributable to a η 2 -H 2 complex 26 formed by protonation were observed in the spectra, according to the reaction shown in Scheme 2.…”

“…In order to obtain further information, we increased the temperature of the sample and observed no change in the profile of the spectra until Ϫ10°C. At this temperature a signal at δ ϭ 4.58 ppm due [20] to free H 2 appears in the 1 H NMR spectra, which increases in intensity with time with the simultaneous lowering of all the other signals. The 31 P NMR spectra also show a decrease in the intensity of the A 2 B multiplet and the formation of decomposition products near Ϫ10°C.…”

The Ir(III) fragment {Ir(PCy(3))(2)(H)(2)}(+) has been used to probe the role of the metal centre in the catalytic dehydrocoupling of H(3)B⋅NMe(2)H (A) to ultimately give dimeric aminoborane [H(2)BNMe(2)](2) (D). Addition of A to [Ir(PCy(3))(2)(H)(2)(H(2))(2)][BAr(F)(4)] (1; Ar(F) = (C(6)H(3)(CF(3))(2)), gives the amine-borane complex [Ir(PCy(3))(2)(H)(2)(H(3)B⋅NMe(2)H)][BAr(F)(4)] (2 a), which slowly dehydrogenates to afford the aminoborane complex [Ir(PCy(3))(2)(H)(2)(H(2)B-NMe(2))][BAr(F)(4)] (3). DFT calculations have been used to probe the mechanism of dehydrogenation and show a pathway featuring sequential BH activation/H(2) loss/NH activation. Addition of D to 1 results in retrodimerisation of D to afford 3. DFT calculations indicate that this involves metal trapping of the monomer-dimer equilibrium, 2 H(2)BNMe(2) ⇌ [H(2)BNMe(2)](2). Ruthenium and rhodium analogues also promote this reaction. Addition of MeCN to 3 affords [Ir(PCy(3))(2)(H)(2)(NCMe)(2)][BAr(F)(4)] (6) liberating H(2)B-NMe(2) (B), which then dimerises to give D. This is shown to be a second-order process. It also allows on- and off-metal coupling processes to be probed. Addition of MeCN to 3 followed by A gives D with no amine-borane intermediates observed. Addition of A to 3 results in the formation of significant amounts of oligomeric H(3)B⋅NMe(2)BH(2)⋅NMe(2)H (C), which ultimately was converted to D. These results indicate that the metal is involved in both the dehydrogenation of A, to give B, and the oligomerisation reaction to afford C. A mechanism is suggested for this latter process. The reactivity of oligomer C with the Ir complexes is also reported. Addition of excess C to 1 promotes its transformation into D, with 3 observed as the final organometallic product, suggesting a B-N bond cleavage mechanism. Complex 6 does not react with C, but in combination with B oligomer C is consumed to eventually give D, suggesting an additional role for free aminoborane in the formation of D from C.
