Thrilled to share how we amplify the BN-ketenimine character of an amino-substituted iminoborane using ortho-carborane, now online in @InorgChem . Congrats to @libo_xiang and all contributors! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Harnessing o-Carborane to Access the BN-Ketenimine Structure

BN-isosterism provides a powerful concept for constructing BN analogues of classical organic frameworks. Here, we introduce the concept of BN-ketenimines (R2C═C═NR′ vs R2N═B═NR′) and demonstrate that...

Thrilled to share our latest work on a superacidic borirane derivative featuring a tris(carboranyl)borane environment, now online in @InorgChem pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs… Thanks to all contributors!

A Lewis Superacidic Borirane Derivative Featuring a Tris(Carboranyl)Borane Environment

The title compound, a carborane-fused borirane bearing an additional iPr-substituted carboranyl group (C2B10H10)B(C2B10H10iPr), was successfully synthesized via salt elimination between [Li2C2B10H10]...

Thrilled to share our latest work with the Lin computational lab @hkust on antiaromatic 2-azaboroles with π4σ2 electronic configuration, now online in @J_A_C_S Congratulations to Leibo, our third-year Ph.D. student @Uni_WUE pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Antiaromatic 2-Azaboroles with π4σ2 Electronic Configuration

Similar to pyridine, which is a structural analog of benzene, 2-azaborole can be viewed as a structural analog of borole, in which the CH group at the 2-position is replaced by an N atom. Due to its...
