Das Element Bor nimmt eine Sonderstellung im Periodensystem der Elemente ein, da ihm für seine Bindungen weniger Valenzelektronen als -orbitale zur Verfügung stehen. Dadurch geht Bor oft Bindungen ein, für die es in der Chemie der übrigen Elemente keine Parallelen gibt. In jüngerer Zeit hat Braunschweig vielbeachtete Arbeiten zu bislang unbekannten Mehrfachbindungssystemen des Bors geliefert, wie etwa der Bor-Sauerstoff- oder Bor-Bor-Dreifachbindung.

Phukan have been paid for by the Royal Society and Holger Braunschweig *ab of Chemistry Base-stabilised borylenes that mimic the ability of transition metals to bind and activate inert substrates have attracted significant attention in recent years. However, such species are typically highly reactive and fleeting, and often cannot be isolated at ambient temperature. Herein, we describe a readily accessible trimethylphosphine-stabilised borylborylene which was found to possess a labile P–B bond that reversibly cleaves upon gentle heating.

  • Spying on the Boron–Boron Triple Bond Using Spin–Spin Coupling

Bryce* There is currently tremendous interest in the previously documented example of a stable species exhibiting a boron–boron triple bond (Science, 2012, 336, 1420). Notably, it has recently been stated using arguments based on force constants that this diboryne may not, in reality, feature a boron–boron triple bond. Here, we use advanced solid-state NMR and computational methodology in order to directly probe the orbitals involved in multiple boron–boron bonds experimentally via analysis of 11B–11B spin–spin (J) coupling constants. Computationally, the mechanism responsible for the boron–boron spin–spin coupling in these species is found to be analogous to that for the case of multiply-bonded carbon atoms. The trend Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licence. in reduced J coupling constants for diborenes and a diboryne, measured experimentally, is in agreement with that known for alkenes and alkynes. This experimental probe of the electronic structure of the Received 19th February 2015 boron–boron multiple bond provides strong evidence supporting the originally proposed nature of the Accepted 31st March 2015 bonds in the diboryne and diborenes, and demonstrates that the orbitals involved in boron–boron DOI: 10.1039/c5sc00644a bonding are equivalent to those well known to construct the multiple bonds between other second-row www.rsc.org/chemicalscience elements such as carbon and nitrogen.

    16th Boron Chemistry Meeting in the Americas June 26 - 30, 2018 at Boston College Program and Abstracts 1 WELCOME It is our distinct pleasure to welcome you to the 16th Boron Chemistry Meeting in the Americas here at Boston College. We hope that you will enjoy the historic city of Boston as well as the four-day program filled with exciting talks and stimulating discussions. Delegates from all over the world (North-, Central-, and South America, Europe, and Asia), and from diverse backgrounds (academia, industry, and government) are coming together at this conference to learn about the latest developments in boron chemistry. Thus, we hope that this gathering will not only promote scientific exchange and collaboration but also provide an opportunity for participants to make new connections and to reconnect with old friends. In organizing the program, the vision we had was to highlight the versatility of the element boron in four specific areas (medicinal chemistry, organic synthesis, materials chemistry, fundamental chemistry). This four-pronged thematic focus is represented by our conference logo with four infinity symbols surrounding the boron and is reflected by the scientific program. One of the highlights of the program will be the poster session on Wednesday evening. This will be a great opportunity to chat about the latest research while enjoying small bites and drinks. Another highlight is the conference banquet, which will take place on Thursday evening at the exquisite State Room with unparalleled views of the city and the Boston waterfront from the 33rd floor in the heart of downtown Boston. During the banquet we will celebrate Prof.

    Soluble elements from a new corner of the periodic table 6 June 2016 The breakthrough from the research team of Professor Holger Braunschweig is presented in the top-tier journal Nature Chemistry, thanks to the unexpectedly high stability of the molecules. These results from the JMU chemistry laboratories are expected to open a new era for the chemistry of the elements of this corner of the periodic table. Promising candidates for challenging reactions The incorporation of hydrogen and carbon monoxide into organic molecules is an example of one of the challenging chemical reactions carried out on huge scales in industry. Currently, these reactions are exclusively carried out with help from expensive heavy metals such as rhodium, palladium and platinum. For reasons of sustainability and cost, replacing these expensive Beryllium in the center, flanked by two stabilizing cyclic catalysts with alternatives from the main group ligands: another "world premiere" from Würzburg chemistry.

  • NOT DONE YET Unsymmetrical Diborenes Submitted Version
    Unsymmetrical, Cyclic Diborenes and Thermal Rearrangement to a Borylborylene Tom E. Stennett,[a] James D. Mattock,[b] Ivonne Vollert,[a] Alfredo Vargas*[b] and Holger Braunschweig*[a] Abstract: Cyclic diboranes(4) based on a chelating monoanionic and 2-siloxypyridines, forming B-N and B-O bonds, respectively, [12] benzylphosphine linker were prepared by boron-silicon exchange by Me3SiCl elimination (Scheme 1). The group of Siebert later succeeded in transferring a Cp* group to B2Cl4 via chlorosilane between arylsilanes and B2Br4. Coordination of Lewis bases to the 2 3 3 elimination, with a rearrangement giving a remaining sp boron atom yielded unsymmetrical sp -sp diboranes, cyclopentadienylborylene-borane adduct as the final product.[13] which were reduced with KC8 to their corresponding trans-diborenes. Inspired by these studies, we selected a readily prepared These compounds were studied by a combination of spectroscopic arylsilane containing a phosphine donor group, with the goal of methods, X-ray diffraction and DFT calculations. PMe3-stabilized generating new diboranes capable of being reduced to B-B diborene 6 was found to undergo thermal rearrangement to gem- multiply-bonded compounds. From this starting point, we diborene 8. DFT calculations on 8 reveal a polar boron-boron bond, present a rational synthesis of unsymmetrical diborenes and rearrangement of one of these compounds to its gem and indicate that the compound is best described as a borylborylene. isomer. Since the report of the first neutral diborene by Robinson and co-workers, which was prepared in low yields via a radical hydrogen scavenging process,[1] the preparation of compounds bearing boron-boron double bonds[2] has been extended by three rational and selective synthetic routes – the reductive coupling of two N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-stabilized [2b, 3] aryldihaloboranes, the reduction of B2X2R2 species in the presence of stabilizing phosphine ligands,[4] and the [5] stoichiometric reduction of carbene adducts of B2Br4.
