Typical hydrogen bond acceptors1 possess an O or N lone pair, but more recently, the a-electron pair of a transition metal hydride has been shown2, 3 togive intramolecularN—H*“H—M and O—H"* H—M hydrogenbonds of an unconventional type, for which we suggest4 theterm dihydrogen bonds. These interactions have bond strengths of 4—6 kcal/mol and H*” H distances (^ hh) of ca. 1.7—1.9 A and seem to play a role in proton transfer, fluxional processes, and other reactions. 2, 3 The striking melting point difference between H3CCH3 (mp—181 C) and the isoelectronic H3BNH3 (1, mp+ 104 C dec) suggested that intermolecular dihydrogen bonds might be present in amineboranes. Of course, H3BNH3 is polar, but the polar and essentially non-H-bonding moleculeCH3F, also isoelec-tronic with ethane, has a melting point of—141 C, only slightly elevated from that of ethane.
