Polarity of H + reversed : The synthesis of [B 2 H 3 (hpp) 2 ] + I − ,a dinuclear borohydride with terminal and bridging H atoms (see picture; B yellow, N blue, C gray, H white, I purple), is made possible with the ligand hexahydropyrimidopyrimidate (hpp). In the course of the reaction the proton is converted into a hydride.
