Boron and aluminum are lighter Group 13 elements, found in daily life commodities, and
considered environmentally benign. Nevertheless, they markedly differ in their elemental …

We report the first indirect observation and use of boron vertex-centered carboranyl radicals
generated by the oxidation of modified carboranyl precursors. These radical intermediates …

Donor‐acceptor cyclopropanes or cyclobutanes are dipolar reagents, which are widely used
in the synthesis of complex organic (hetero) cycles in ring expansion reactions. Applying this …

The synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of an iminoborane–N-heterocyclic carbene
(NHC) adduct were described. The reaction of DmpNHB (OEt) Br [1; Dmp= 2, 6-bis (2, 4, 6 …

Silylenes have become an indispensable tool for molecular bond activation. Their use for
the construction of silicon–boron bonds is uncommon in comparison to the numerous …

The amidinatoamidosilylene [LSiNMe2][1; L= PhC (N t Bu) 2] was reacted with B2Br4
(SMe2) 2 in toluene at room temperature to form the bis (silylene) tetrabromodiborane [L …

This chapter provides an overview of the recent developments in the synthetic,
characterization, reactivity studies, and applications of group 13 metal cationic complexes …

Investigations concerning the reactivity of the N‐heterocyclic silylene Dipp2NHSi (1, 1, 3‐bis
(2, 6‐diisopropylphenyl)‐1, 3‐diaza‐2‐silacyclopent‐4‐en‐2‐ylidene) towards selected …

Quantum chemical calculations and NBO, ETS‐NOCV, QTAIM and ELF interpretative
approaches have been carried out on C‐donor ligand‐stabilized dihydrido borenium …

Hydroboration is one of the most prominent and fundamental reactions and has been widely
explored with a range of catalysts. The prominent reports on hydroboration using …
