Abstract
Imido–hydrido complexes (ArN)Mo(H)(Cl)(PMe3)3 (1) and (ArN)Mo(H)2(PMe3)3 (2) (Ar = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl)
catalyse a variety of hydroboration reactions, including the rare examples of addition of HBCat to
nitriles to form bis(borylated) amines RCH2N(BCat)2. Stoichiometric reactivity of complexes 1 and 2 with
nitriles and HBCat suggest that catalytic reactions proceed via a series of agostic borylamido and borylamino
complexes. For complex 1, catalysis starts with addition of nitriles across the Mo–H bond to give
(ArN)Mo(Cl)(NvCHR)(PMe3)2; whereas for complex 2 stoichiometric reactions suggest initial addition of
HBCat to form the agostic complex Mo(H)2(PMe3)3(η3-NAr-HBcat)
