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.}, keywords = {aminoboranes, B-H activation, density functional calculations, IRIDIUM, ligand effects}, issn = {1521-3765}, doi = {10.1002/chem.201600951}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/chem.201600951}, author = {Drover, Marcus W. and Bowes, Eric G. and Schafer, Laurel L. and Love, Jennifer A. and Weller, Andrew S.} }
