Notes:
The reactions of (Me2S)BH2Br and (Me2S)BHBr2 with equimolar quantities of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethene (1) or -benzene (2) lead to cyclic, cationic bis(phosphane)boranes [4[(1)BH2]+ Br-; 6: [(2)BH2]+ Br; 7: [(2)BHBr]+ Br-]. The Br counterions can be exchanged in metathesis reactions (e.g. with AgBF4 to afford 4a). The tritertiary phosphane bis[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)phenyl]phenyl-phosphane (3), reacts with (Me2S)BHBr2 to give bicyclic dicationic tris(phosphane)borane 8, [(3)BH]2+ Br-, which can be converted into the bis(hexafluorophosphate) 8a using NH4PF6. All compounds have been characterized by analytical and NMR-spectroscopic data. The crystal and molecular structures of 5 - 7 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The five-membered rings C2P2B have an envelope conformation and show no sign of electron delocalization. Attempts to deprotonate the B—H functions in 5 - 8 have not been successful. Clearly, the two (5 - 7) or three phosphonium centers (8) adjacent to the boron atom are not sufficient to induce an “umpolung” of the B—H group
