Abstract: The predominantly planar structure of a fluoro-substituted bis(dialkylamino)borane, C12H28BFN2, was obtained from the reaction of boron trifluoride diethyl etherate with lithium diisopropylamide and its structure is presented here. While the B—F bond length is in the typical range of single B—F bonds, the B—N bond length indicates a partial double-bond character. The sterically demanding isopropyl groups on both amides increase the N—B—N angle and enable intermolecular van der Waals interactions.
