Formation of high-molecular weight polyaminoborane by Fe hydride catalysed dehydrocoupling of methylamine borane†
Abstract
The complex [(PNHP)Fe(H)(CO)(HBH3)] (PNHP = HN(CH2CH2Pi-Pr2)2) serves as a catalyst precursor for the selective dehydrocoupling of methylamine borane at room temperature, tentatively via an off-metal polymerisation pathway.
