Article Synopsis
  • Computational studies using Density Functional Theory suggest that stable borylenes, which are mono Lewis base-stabilized, can effectively bind to transition metal complexes like iron (Fe) and nickel (Ni).* -
  • This binding enhances the Lewis basicity of the metal centers, leading to the creation of distinct metal-only Lewis pairs (MOLPs) involving complexes like [L(CO)Fe → GaCl] and [L(CO)Ni → GaCl], where L represents electron donating ligands.* -
  • The research further explores the interactions between different ligands and the metals, utilizing advanced analytical methods such as QTAIM and EDA-NOCV.*

Article Synopsis
  • Borylenes with a B-R bond exhibit unique reactivity similar to transition metals, yet understanding of their electronic structure remains limited.
  • Recent research utilized infrared spectroscopy and computational methods to analyze boron-gold carbonyl complexes, revealing them as bis-carbonyl-trapped borylene adducts.
  • The findings indicate that these complexes possess enhanced reactivity and stability due to multicenter bonding, paving the way for new metalized borylene materials and potential catalytic applications.

The formation of a rhodium pincer-type complex with a boron-based donor ligand and its reactivity are reported. The starting complex contains a formal borylene moiety, stabilised by two pyridine substituents. Quantum chemical investigations indicate the possibility of deprotonation of the central donor group of the type pyBH in this complex.

Thermal or photoinduced isomerization of diruthenium bridging bisborylene complexes [{Cp*(H)Ru}(μ-BAr)] (, Ar = Ph; , Ar = 3,4,5-FCH) led to -ruthenacarboranes and with newly formed B-C and B-H bonds. The reaction mechanism was analyzed by deuterium-labeling experiments and density functional theory calculations. Additionally, 2-fold B-H coupling between borylene and two hydrido ligands of can be achieved, assisted by Lewis base IPrMe to generate a dinuclear bridging borylene complex [(Cp*Ru)(μ-H)(μ-BPh)] ().

Compared to the outstanding development in the synthesis of Si-B single bonded species, borylsilanes and their application to organic synthesis, the chemistry of Si=B double bonded species, borasilenes and boratasilenes have only made little progress, first of all, due to the difficulties in accessing such double bonds. Herein we report the synthesis of the first Si=B analogue of a vinyl halide, a bromoboratasilene, via formal borylene insertion to the coordination sphere of a monoatomic Si(0) complex, using a dihaloborane as the borylene source. The treatment of bromoboratasilene toward neutral or anionic Lewis bases gives access to new boratasilenes, all of which were proved to possess significant Si=B double bond character by XRD analysis and DFT calculations.
