Popis: The 1:2 reaction of [μ‐(dmpm)Pt(nbe)]2 (dmpm=bis(dimethylphosphino)methane, nbe=norbornene) with Cl2BNR(SiMe3) (R=tBu, SiMe3) yields unsymmetrical (N‐aminoboryl)aminoboryl PtI 2 complexes by B−N coupling via ClSiMe3 elimination. A subsequent intramolecular ClSiMe3 elimination from the tBu‐derivative leads to cyclization of the BNBN unit, forming a unique 1,3,2,4‐diazadiboretidin‐2‐yl ligand. In contrast, the analogous reaction with Br2BN(SiMe3)2 leads, via a twofold BrSiMe3 elimination, to a PtII 2 A‐frame complex bridged by a linear BNBN isostere of butatriene. Structural and computational data confirm π electron delocalization over the entire BNBN unit.
The [μ‐(dmpm)Pt]2 template promotes the coupling of B=N units derived from dihalo(silylamino)borane precursors by B−N bond formation through intermolecular halosilane elimination. For Cl2BNR(SiMe3) η1‐(N‐aminoboryl)aminoboryl and η1‐1,3,2,4‐diazaboretidin‐2‐yl PtI 2 complexes are obtained, whereas for Br2BN(SiMe3)2 an A‐frame complex bridged by the first BNBN analogue of a butatriene is formed, as confirmed by structural and theoretical analyses.
