AI Article Synopsis

  • The research discusses how to create the first boryl complexes of cadmium and mercury using a process called transmetallation from boryllithium.
  • The study also examines the synthesis of similar compounds in group 14 elements, showing that there are extra considerations when working with more reactive post-transition metals.
  • This work advances the understanding of complex formation with these elements in chemistry.

Article Abstract

Synthetic routes to the first boryl complexes of cadmium and mercury are reported via transmetallation from boryllithium; the syntheses of related group 14 systems highlight the additional factors associated with extension to more redox-active post-transition elements.
