A general approach to the synthesis of borohydride complexes containing one or two dinitroamide fragments has been suggested. Based on a smooth substitution of halide in haloborane or dibromoborane complexes with N,N-dinitroamide salts, this method provides various N,N-dinitroamidoboranes complexes in good yields and in analytically pure form. By means of spectroscopic and computational methods, it was demonstrated that dinitroamidoborane complexes could form as both B,N- and B,O-isomers, which did not interconvert at ambient temperature.
