A recent article reports, amongst other topics, a computationally modelled reaction involving the capture of molecular hydrogen using a substituted borane (X=N, Y=C).[cite]10.1073/pnas.1709586114[/cite] The mechanism involves an initial equilibrium between React and Int1 , followed by capture of the hydrogen by Int1 to form a 5-coordinate borane intermediate ( Int2 below, as per
