The reaction between B(C6F5)3 and NH3(g) in light petroleum yielded the solvated adduct H3N·B(C6F5)3·NH3. Treatmentwith a second equivalent of B(C6F5)3 afforded H3N·B(C6F5)3. Attempts to prepare the analogous alane adduct wereunsuccessful and resulted in protolysis. Related compounds of the form R'R' 'N(H)·M(C6F5)3 were synthesizedfrom M(C6F5)3 and the corresponding primary and secondary amines (M = B, Al; R' = H, Me, CH2Ph; R' ' = Me,CH2Ph, CH(Me)(Ph); R'R' ' = cyclo-C5H10). The solid-state structures of 13 new compounds have been elucidatedby single-crystal X-ray diffraction and are discussed. Each of the borane adducts has a significant bifurcatedintramolecular hydrogen bond between an amino hydrogen and two o-fluorines, while N-H···F-C interactions inthe alane adducts are weaker and more variable. 19F NMR studies demonstrate that the borane adducts retain thebifurcated C-F···H···F-C hydrogen bond in solution. Compounds of the type R'R' 'N(H)·M(C6F5)3 conform toEtter's rules for the prediction of hydrogen-bonding interactions.
