phosphoramidate complex [IrCp*{κ2‐N, O‐Xyl (N) P (O)(OEt) 2}][BArF4] generates the
aminoborane complexes [IrCp*(H){κ1‐N‐η2‐HB‐Xyl (N) P (OBHNR2)(OEt) 2}][BArF4](R= iPr
or Cy) in which coordination of a P= O bond with boron weakens the B= N multiple bond. For
these complexes, solution‐and solid‐state, as well as DFT computational techniques, have
been employed to substantiate B− N bond rotation of the coordinated aminoborane.
