Selective dehydrogenation of ammonia borane to polycondensated BN rings catalysed by ruthenium olefin complexes.

ABSTRACT: Dehydrogenation of ammonia borane to well-defined products is an important but challenging reaction. A dinuclear ruthenium complex with a Ru-Ru bond bearing a diazadiene (dad) unit and olefins as non-innocent ligands catalyzes the highly selective formation of conjugated polycondensed borazine oligomers (B_xN_xH_y), predominantly B₂₁N₂₁H₁₈, the BN analogue of superbenzene.
