Abstract
The reaction of excess NaBH4 with N-(o-hydrazonylpyridine)ferrocenylimine ( L) in a THF/water mixture yields the borane adduct. LBH3, which has been ch aracterised by IR and NMR spectroscopy. The single-crystal X-ray determinat ion shows that the pyridine nitrogen of L is coordinated to the BH3 unit wi th a B-N length of 1.596(3) Angstrom. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A.
