title: Facile dihydrogen release from phosphino-borinate ester Lewis pairs.
abstract: New phosphino-borinate ester Lewis pairs of the type (t)Bu(2)PCH(2)C(R)(2)OB(C(6)F(5))(2) (R = Me or CF(3)) are synthesised from the corresponding phosphino-alcohol and HB(C(6)F(5))(2). Dihydrogen release from the zwitterionic (t)Bu(2)PHCH(2)C(R)(2)OBH(C(6)F(5))(2) is facile.
