Ill, 13C, and 3LB NMR spectra as well as mass spectra of the compounds synthesized were investigated. Only the adduct of 2,2-dimethyl-l-boraadamantane with 2,2-dimethyl-l-azaadamanlane readily dissociates into the initial components due to steric hindrances that prevent strong BuN coordination. The structure and geometric parameters of the l-boraadamantane complex with 3,5-dimethyl-l-azaadamantane were established by X-ray diffraction analysis.
