The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The reaction between the phosphine-borane-substituted alkene {Pr n2P(BH3)}(Me3Si)C=CH2 and elemental lithium in THF yields the complex [(pmdeta)Li{Prn2P(BH3)}(Me3Si)CCH2]2 (2b) after recrystallisation; an X-ray crystallographic study of 2b reveals that the lithium is bound to the BH3 hydrogens of the ligand, with no Li-C(carbanion) contact.
