description

Abstract The chelation of a proton by oxidized diphosphines is studied for the first time both experimentally and theoretically. As a proof of concept the rare case where two different H-bond systems exist in one compound, H[7,8-(OP i Pr 2 ) 2 -7,8- nido -C 2 B 9 H 10 ] is reported. Based on NBO, QTAIM and ELF calculations, the P–O⋯H + ⋯O–P interactions were characterized as strong hydrogen bonds.
