The reciprocal SN2 and SE2 reactions of ammonia borane

The reactions here explored are microscopic analogs of Newton cradle: left thing attack, right thing leaves and central thing remains unaffected. We have studied symmetric S2 reactions, X = N or E, where the attacking and leaving molecules are the same: HN, HB, HC and the central molecules are HB (S...

Description
Summary:The reactions here explored are microscopic analogs of Newton cradle: left thing attack, right thing leaves and central thing remains unaffected. We have studied symmetric S2 reactions, X = N or E, where the attacking and leaving molecules are the same: HN, HB, HC and the central molecules are HB (S2@B), HN (S2) or HC (S2@C). Non-symmetric reactions with different initial and final complexes were also studied and examples where the elements of the lateral molecules differ, P vs N.
