Abstract

Reactions of bis(pinacolato)diboron (B₂pin₂) with [(IDip)AlH₃] (IDip = (HCNDip)₂C:, Dip = 2,6-iPr₂C₆H₃) afforded both the new diborane [(IDip)BH₂B(pin)] and the known compound [(IDip)BH₂BH₂(IDip)] in a facile one-pot procedure; the latter reaction is improved by the addition of free IDip. [(IDip)AlH₃] transfers both IDip and hydride ligands to the diborane moiety in a halide-free approach. [(IDip)BH₂B(pin)] was structurally and spectroscopically characterised and additional spectroscopic data for [(IDip)BH₂BH₂(IDip)] is reported.
