Abstract:
Aminoborane, H2 NBH2 and its isotopologues, H2 N10 BH2 , D2 NBD2 , and D2 N10 BD2 , have been studied by high-level ab initio methods. All calculations rely on multidimensional potential energy surfaces and dipole moment surfaces including high-order mode coupling terms, which have been obtained from electronic structure calculations at the level of explicitly correlated coupled-cluster theory, CCSD(T)-F12, or the distinguishable cluster approximation, DCSD. Subsequent vibrational structure calculations based on second-order vibrational perturbation theory, VPT2, and vibrational configuration interaction theory, VCI, were used to determine rotational constants, centrifugal distortion constants, vibrationally averaged geometrical parameters and (an)harmonic vibrational frequencies. The impact of core-correlation effects is discussed in detail. Rovibrational VCI calculations were used to simulate the gas phase spectra of these species and an in-depth analysis of the ν7 band of aminoborane is provided. Color-coding is used to reveal the identity of the individual progressions of the rovibrational transitions for this particular mode.

Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn...
