N2 - A stable donor-acceptor coordination complex of the elusive parent inorganic iminoborane HBNH (a structural analogue of acetylene) is reported. This species was generated via thermally induced N2 elimination/1,2-H migration from a hydrido(azido)borane adduct NHC·BH2N3 (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene) in the presence of a fluorinated triarylborane. The mechanism of this process was also investigated by computational and isotopic labeling studies. This transformation represents a new and potentially modular route to unsaturated inorganic building blocks for advanced material synthesis.
