A computational study suggests that sterics dictate whether multiple dehydrogenation/ B–N coupling of amine-boranes H3B$NRR'H (R, R0 ¼ Me or H) is observed, and also demonstrates the experimentally observed requirement for additional amine-borane to promote dehydrocoupling.}, publisher = {ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY}, title = {Multiple metal-bound oligomers from Ir-catalysed dehydropolymerisation of H3B$NH3 as probed by experiment and computation}, doi = {10.1039/c4sc00735b}, author = {Kumar, Amit and C.
