Iridium‐Catalyzed Dehydrocoupling of Primary Amine–Borane Adducts: A Route to High Molecular Weight Polyaminoboranes, Boron–Nitrogen Analogues of Polyolefins

Abstract

The B all and N all: Soluble, linear, high molecular weight polyaminoborane homopolymers and copolymers have been synthesized by iridium-catalyzed dehydrocoupling of readily available amine–borane adducts RNH2⋅BH3 (R=H, Me, nBu).
