| Abstract: | Reaction of aminoboranes H2B=NR2 (R=iPr or Cy) with the cationic Cp*IrIII phosphoramidate complex IrCp*{κ2‐N,O‐Xyl(N)P(O)(OEt)2}]BArF4] generates the aminoborane complexes IrCp*(H){κ1‐N‐η2‐HB‐Xyl(N)P(OBHNR2)(OEt)2}]BArF4] (R=iPr or Cy) in which coordination of a P=O bond with boron weakens the B=N multiple bond. For these complexes, solution‐ and solid‐state, as well as DFT computational techniques, have been employed to substantiate B?N bond rotation of the coordinated aminoborane. |
