Abstract

Ammonia borane (AB, NH~3~·BH~3~) was activated selectively on the boron hydrogen atoms by [Ir(dppm)~2~]OTf, as shown by variable‐temperature ^31^P, ^11^B and ^1^H NMR studies, to yield cis‐ and trans‐[Ir(H)~2~(dppm)~2~]OTf dihydrides. X‐ray crystal structures of these complexes were obtained. DFT calculations suggest the key reaction intermediate to be a Lewis base (L) stabilised adduct, cis‐[Ir(H)(BH~2~·L)(dppm)~2~]^+^(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009)
