Switching of two amine ligands via an SN2-type mechanism in a coordinated form of 2,6-bis(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)phenylboronates
Abstract
Facile exchange between the intramoleculariy coordinated and uncoordinated amine ligands in the title compounds is evidenced by NMR spectroscopy in solution, whereas the dynamic process is frozen in the solid phase as shown by X-ray crystallography.
