“…Compound 4 is the cycloborazane species [ t- BuHN–BH 2 ] 2 and, as such, is the first crystallographically characterized cyclodimeric product of a dehydrogenated primary amine–borane to be described. All previously reported products for transition-metal-catalyzed dehydrocoupling of primary amine–boranes have comprised higher oligomers, ,,,, while all six crystallographically characterized species of similar N 2 B 2 structure ( IX – XIV , Figure ), ,,− are compounds containing secondary amine derived units. The B–N bond distances (1.599(3) and 1.600(3) Å) in the solid-state structure of 4 are identical with those reported for IX (1.594(4) Å), , X (four in the unit cell in the range 1.584(5)–1.609(5) Å), XI (1.600 Å), XII (1.616 Å), and XIII (1.594(4) Å) but are shorter in comparison to that of XIV (1.621 Å), which possesses more sterically demanding 2,6-dimethylpiperidinyl nitrogen-centered substituents …”
