Cobalt‐Catalyzed Deoxygenative Coupling of Ethers to Alkanes

Cobalt-catalyzed double C─O bond activation has been achieved. Diverse ethers were successfully transformed into 1,2-diarylethanes and linear alkyl arenes. This protocol is extended toward synthesis...

An Extended Rudolph Diagram: B3H5 and B3H6 Relate 3D-, 2D-, 1D-, and 0D-Boron Allotropes

The structural chemistry of boron goes beyond the sp, sp2, and sp3 hybridization paradigms of carbon chemistry. We relate the apparently unconnected polyhedral boranes and 3D allotropes on the one...

All-boron benzene analogue stabilised by monometallic template

Planar B6 ring is aromatic in nature, comparable to benzene in sandwich complexes

An electron counting formula to explain and to predict hydrogenated and metallated borophenes

A generalized electron counting rule for borophene with varying hole density explains the preference for hydrogenation in β12 borophene of hole density ⅙. Interplay between bridging and terminal BH...

Hexagonal Planar [B6H6] within a [B6H12] Borate Complex: Structure and Bonding of [(Cp*Ti)2(μ‐ɳ6 ...

A hexagonal borane [B6H6] ring supported by six B−H−Ti bonds in the coordination sphere of {Cp*Ti} fragments is formed from the reaction of [Cp*TiCl3] with [LiBH4 ⋅ THF] followed by thermolysis in...
