Herein we report on the synthesis and characterization of the new borane adducts Htbo center dot BH3 and Htbn center dot BH3 (two isomers), where Htbo = 1,4,6-triazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-4-ene and Htbn = 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-6-ene. Thermal treatment of these adducts leads to dihydrogen elimination and the formation of dinuclear boron hydrides with bridging guanidinate ligands, namely [BH2(mu-tbo)](2) and [BH2(mu-tbn)](2), which both adopt boat-type conformations in the solid state. The experimental studies are accompanied by quantum-chemical calculations, and we also analyse the possibility of further reductive dehydrogenation to give the double base-stabilized diboranes(4) [BH(mu-tbo)](2) and [BH(mu-tbn)](2) or oligomeric H2B(mu-tbn)(2)BH[BH(mu-tbn)(2)BH),BH(mu-tbn)(2)BH2 (n = 0, 1, 2, ...). Furthermore we synthesized the dinuclear dicationic boron(II) compound [HMe2NB(mu-tbn)](2)(2+) featuring a long B-B bond length of 180.1(5) pm. ((C) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
