The charge-reverse analogy as an inspiration for the preparation of polydentate Lewis acidic boranes. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Reversing the charge: The recent preparation of a masked version of a 2,2-diborabiphenyl (the radical anion of its adduct with benzo[c]cinnoline is shown) constitutes a noticeable achievement on the way to bidentate Lewis acidic boranes with optimized properties as ligands and opens up the chemistry of this unique class of bidentate Lewis acids.
