A new(ish) anion on the block for SMOM chemistry. Kris Altus’ latest on the organometallic chemistry of [B(O2C2(CF3)4)2]−. There is also a cautionary note about the toxicity of a starting material. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

[B(O2C2(CF3)4)2]− ([FPB]−): Repurposing This Weakly Coordinating Anion for Solid-State Molecular...

Abstract. The perfluoropinacol borate-based anion [B­(O2C2(CF3)4)2]−, [FPB]–, is developed as a weakly coordinating anion for single-crystal to single-crys

A squareplanar Ru(II) complex, that dehydropolymerizes amine boranes to selectively give high molecular BN-polymers at low (0.03 mol%) catalyst loadings and high ToF (250 s-1). And a hydroxy-hydride as the species formed in the induction period as a bonus! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Pnictogen‐Rich Heterocycles Derived from a Phosphadiazonium Cation

For the first time, a phosphadiazonium cation has been used to create functional heterocycles. DFT calculations confirm that the Mes*NP group is directly implicated in the generation of the unique...
