Abstract
The molecular structure of trimethylphosphine–borane has been determined from gas electron diffraction and spectroscopic data. The molecular parameters and their uncertainties are rg(B–H)=1.225±0.011 A, rg(P–B)=1.899±0.006 A, rg(C–P)=1.815±0.003 A, rg(C–H)=1.103±0.002 A, ∠HBH=108.6±0.6°, and ∠CPC=104.6±0.3°. The P–B distance of this complex is about 0.04 A shorter than those of trimethylphosphine–boron trihalides.
