title: Tuning the [L2Rh···H3B·NR3]+ interaction using phosphine bite angle. Demonstration by the catalytic formation of polyaminoboranes.
abstract: Efficient catalysts for the dehydrocoupling or dehydropolymerisation of H(3)B·NMe(x)H((3-x)) (x = 1, 2) have been developed by variation of the P-Rh-P angle in {Rh(Ph(2)P(CH(2))(n)PPh(2))}(+) fragments (n = 2-5).
