Abstract

AbstractAddition of BH3 to 1,3,5‐triaza‐7‐phosphaadamantane (PTA) leads to the formation of the first coordination complex of PTA in which a nitrogen and not the phosphorus of PTA is involved in the bonding. Multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, X‐ray crystallography, and computational chemistry are utilized in the characterization of the products. Crystal structures of PTA–BH3 (1) and O=PTA–BH3 (2) adducts are described. In addition a coordination polymer, [CpRu(PTA)2Cl(Ph3B3O3)]n (3), resulting from Lewis acid–base adduct formation between the PTA ligands of CpRu(PTA)2Cl and the product of the cyclocondensation of phenylboronic acid is described. The polymeric compound 3 was also characterized by X‐ray crystallography. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006)
