[Rh(κ 2-PP-DPEphos){η 2η 2-H 2B(NMe 3)(CH 2) 2 tBu}][BAr F 4] acts as an effective precatalyst for the dehydropolymerization of H 3B·NMeH 2 to form N-methylpolyaminoborane (H 2BNMeH) n . Control of polymer molecular weight is achieved by variation of precatalyst loading (0.1–1 mol %, an inverse relationship) and use of the chain-modifying agent H 2: with M n ranging between 5 500 and 34 900 g/mol and Đ between 1.5 and 1.8. H 2 evolution studies (1,2-F 2C 6H 4 solvent) reveal an induction period that gets longer with higher precatalyst loading and complex kinetics with a noninteger order in [Rh] TOTAL. Speciation studies at 10 mol % indicate the initial formation of the amino–borane bridged dimer, [Rh 2(κ 2-PP-DPEphos) 2(μ-H)(μ-H 2BN=HMe)][BAr F 4], followed by the crystallographically characterized amidodiboryl complex [Rh 2( cis-κ 2-PP-DPEphos) 2(σ,μ-(H 2B) 2NHMe)][BAr F 4]. Adding ∼2 equiv of NMeH 2 in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution to the precatalyst removes this induction period, pseudo-first-order kinetics are observed, a half-order relationship to [Rh] TOTAL is revealed with regard to dehydrogenation, and polymer molecular weights are increased (e.g., M n = 40 000 g/mol). Speciation studies suggest that NMeH 2 acts to form the precatalysts [Rh(κ 2-DPEphos)(NMeH 2) 2][BAr F 4] and [Rh(κ 2-DPEphos)(H) 2(NMeH 2) 2][BAr F 4], which were independently synthesized and shown to follow very similar dehydrogenation kinetics, and produce polymers of molecular weight comparable with [Rh(κ 2-PP-DPEphos){η 2-H 2B(NMe 3)(CH 2) 2 tBu}][BAr F 4], which has been doped with amine. This promoting effect of added amine in situ is shown to be general in other cationic Rh-based systems, and possible mechanistic scenarios are discussed.
