Mobility of Lewis acids within the secondary coordination sphere: toward a model for cooperative substrate binding.

ABSTRACT: Distance dependence of appended Lewis acids in N₂H₄ binding and deprotonation was evaluated within a series of zinc complexes. Variation of spacer-length to a tethered trialkylborane Lewis acid revealed distinct preferences for binding and stabilization of the resulting deprotonated N₂H₃^- unit.
