The chemistry of the p-block elements is a huge playground for fundamental and applied
work. With their bonding from electron deficient to hypercoordinate and formally hypervalent …

In 1963 Shriver reported a metal-boron dative bond in a complex formulated as [(η5-C5H5)
2WH2 (BF3)]. 33 However, these findings were refuted around 30 years later when differing …

Compounds containing boron in the formal oxidation state of+ III are well known and are
classic examples of Lewis acids. In turn, these simple electron lone pair acceptors have …

Ir catalysis is widely used in hydrogenation reactions to transform unsaturated molecules to
the corresponding saturated molecules. Understanding the reaction mechanism is helpful …

Metal-rich metallaborane clusters, having triply and tetra bridging borylenes, and
multicentred boride units are demanding renewed interest because of their diverse reactivity …

The article represents a review of the chemistry of transition metal complexes containing the
boryl (–BX 2) ligand based on the chemical literature published up to and including the …

Transition metal borylene complexes (LnM BR) were predicted to be possible sources of
the borylene fragment (: BR) in 1973, decades before the first complex had even been …

A series of cationic T‐shaped 14‐electron boryl complexes of the type trans‐[(Cy3P) 2Pt {B
(X) X′}]+(X= Br; X′= ortho‐tolyl, tBu, NMe2, piperidyl, Br; XX′=(NMe2) 2, catecholato) …

(Chemical Equation Presented) Charge changes everything: The cationic terminal
aminoborylene complex [CpFe (CO) 2 (BNCy2)]+[BArF4]-(1, Cy= cyclohexyl, ArF= 3, 5-(CF3) …

A variety of synthetic approaches to neutral terminal borylene complexes [LxM= BR](R= N
(SiMe3), Si (SiMe3)) has been developed over the past years on the basis of salt elimination …
