STRONTIUM POWER: Although this series follows the octet rule, only neutral Ph3N is stable. Ph3B is very resistant to double reduction. Only Ar3B.- radical anions are known. However, it had to surrender to strontium. @angew_chem doi.org/10.1002/anie.3220261

Congrats to Fengbo! Our work on isolation of monomeric azoboranes led by Qiuming Liang: pubs.rsc.org/cc/article/doi/…

Monomeric azoboranes

Monomeric azoboranes, Mes2B–N═N–R, were synthesized from silyldiazenes (R–N═N–SiEt3) and Mes2BBr. These compounds feature an unusual, nearly linear cumulen
