Abstrakt: The sigma amine-borane complexes [Rh(L1)(η 22 -H 3 B⋅NRH 2 )][OTf] (L1=2,6-bis-[1-(2,6-diisopropylphenylimino)ethyl]pyridine, R=Me, Et, n Pr) are described, alongside [Rh(L1)(NMeH 2 )][OTf]. Using R=Me as a pre-catalyst (1 mol %) the dehydropolymerization of H 3 B ⋅ NMeH 2 gives [H 2 BNMeH] n selectively. Added NMeH 2 , or the direct use of [Rh(L1)(NMeH 2 )][OTf], is required for initiation of catalysis, which is suggested to operate through the formation of a neutral hydride complex, Rh(L1)H. The formation of small (1-5 nm) nanoparticles is observed at the end of catalysis, but studies are ambiguous as to whether the catalysis is solely nanoparticle promoted or if there is a molecular homogeneous component. [Rh(L1)(NMeH 2 )][OTf] is shown to operate at 0.025 mol % loadings on a 2 g scale of H 3 B ⋅ NMeH 2 to give polyaminoborane [H 2 BNMeH] n [M n =30,900 g/mol, Ð=1.8] that can be purified to a low residual [Rh] (6 μg/g). Addition of Na[N(SiMe 3 ) 2 ] to [H 2 BNMeH] n results in selective depolymerization to form the eee-isomer of N,N,N-trimethylcyclotriborazane [H 2 BNMeH] 3 : the chemical repurposing of a main-group polymer.
