AI Article Synopsis

  • A new method has been discovered for adding hydrogen (H₂) to a bond between a transition metal and borane.
  • This process is significant because it allows for the regeneration of borane functional groups back into borohydride.
  • The findings could have important implications for chemical reactions involving boron compounds.

Article Abstract

The addition of H(2) across a transition metal-borane bond is reported for the first time providing a mechanism for recharging borane functional groups to borohydride.
