Unprecedented Borane, Diborane(3), Diborene, and Borylene Ligands via Pt-Mediated Borane Dehydrogenation Nicole Arnold Holger Braunschweig Rian D. Dewhurst William C. Ewing 10.1021/jacs.5b11315.s004 https://acs.figshare.com/articles/dataset/Unprecedented_Borane_Diborane_3_Diborene_and_Borylene_Ligands_via_Pt_Mediated_Borane_Dehydrogenation/2089138 Reactions of an aryldihydroborane with a Pt<sup>0</sup> complex lead to a range of novel products, including complexes with bridging diborene and diborane(3) ligands and a complex with both borylene and borane (M → B) ligands. The products imply varying degrees of dehydrogenation of the boron centers with concomitant formation of boron–boron bonds, which in one case is later broken. These reactions show that although the dehydrocoupling of dihydroboranes is not a straightforward process in this case, the reactions are capable of connecting boron atoms in unusual ways, leading to unprecedented bonding motifs. 2016-01-13 00:00:00 Unprecedented Borane novel products Pt 0 ligand boron atoms boron centers Borylene Ligands reactions show
