Abstract: -dialkylaminopyridines as ligands to the boron center we have succeeded in preparing salts indefinitely stable in water at pH values from 1 to 14. Further, we have acquired multinuclear NMR spectra on each of the new species and for the first time evaluated their thermal characteristics (DSC and TGA), finding that they are quite robust. In addition, the electrochemical behaviour of the new salts was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry. The structures of several of the new materials have been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, and detailed computational modelling has been undertaken to provide additional insight into the experimental data.
