Abstract
Dimethylsulfane-borane, (CH3)2SBH3, reacts with X2, HX and BX3 to give (CH3)2SBH2X and (CH3)2SBHX2 (X = Br, I). Although BI3 is the strongest Lewis-acid amongst the boron compounds, it does not form (CH3)2SBI3 but (CH3)2SBHI2 and B2H6, when it is mixed with (CH3)2SBH3. 1H—NMR results indicate an increase in the donor-acceptor bond strengths with decreasing n in the series (CH3)2SBHnX3-n.
