Catalytic dehydrocoupling/dehydrogenation of amine–borane adducts has become a field of rapid growth over the past decade.[1] This development has been driven by potential applications with respect to hydrogen storage,[1, 2] transfer hydrogenations and reductions of organic substrates,[3] and the preparation of new inorganic polymeric and solid-state materials.[4, 5] A wide variety of catalyst systems have been developed that promote this reaction,[6–10] most of which are based on complexes of second-and third-row late transition metals. Mechanistic interest in these transformations has also led to the emergence of an interesting new area of coordination chemistry associated with amine–borane and aminoborane ligands.[11–13] Although much less developed, the catalytic dehydrogenation of phosphine–boranes appears to offer similar potential.[14]We have previously reported that the first-row Group 4 metallocene [Cp2Ti], generated in situ from [Cp2TiCl2] and nBuLi (2equiv) or, alternatively, from the isolable TiII precatalyst [Cp2Ti (PMe3) 2], functions as an efficient homogeneous catalyst for the dehydrogenation of secondary amine–borane adduct 1 to give the cyclodiborazane 2 (Scheme 1).[7] Chirik [8] and, more recently, Rosenthal [9] and co-workers have described analogous studies of a series of active TiII and ZrII precatalysts for the dehydrocoupling of 1. In general, the Ti-
