This Review gives a comprehensive overview of the most topical weakly coordinating
anions (WCAs) and contains information on WCA design, stability, and applications. As an …

Homoleptic cyanide compounds exist of almost all main group elements. While the alkali
metals and alkaline earth metals form cyanide salts, the cyanides of the lighter main group …

A new family of electron-deficient tris (aryl) boranes, B (C6F5) 3–n (C6Cl5) n (n= 1–3), has
been synthesized, permitting an investigation into the steric and electronic effects resulting …

A straightforward gram‐scale preparation of cyclohexa‐1, 4‐diene‐based hydrogen cyanide
(HCN) surrogates is reported. These are bench‐stable but formally release HCN and …

Hydroboration of dimesitylvinylphosphine with Piers' borane [HB (C6F5) 2] gives the
ethylene-bridged intramolecular frustrated P/B Lewis pair 1. It adds pyridine, tert-butyl …

The synthesis and structure of lithium and silver tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) borate salts
have been studied in different solvents ranging from polar (CH2Cl2, diethyl ether) to …

The reactivity of 9-phenyl-9-borafluorene with a series of 1, 2-dipolar organic molecules is
investigated, revealing that either adducts or seven-membered heterocycles are generated …

The electrochemical stability of ionic liquids based on the 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium
[EMIM]+ cation and three different anions, dicyanoamide ([N (CN) 2]−), tricyanomethanide …

For the first time, a systematic study of the behavior of Ag2 [B12Cl12] in oxygen-containing
organic solvents of various nature (acetone, N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) …

The reaction of HN3 with the strong Lewis acid B (C6F5) 3 led to the formation of a very
labile HN3⋅ B (C6F5) 3 adduct, which decomposed to an aminoborane, H (C6F5) NB …
