Since the discovery of the first stable N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in the beginning of the
1990s, these divalent carbon species have become a common and available class of …

The chemistry of the p-block elements is a huge playground for fundamental and applied
work. With their bonding from electron deficient to hypercoordinate and formally hypervalent …

N‐Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) boranes undergo oxidative hydrolysis to give imidazolium
salts with excellent kinetic selectivity for HOCl over other reactive oxygen species (ROS) …

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

Borenium cations have been found to be valuable analogues of boranes as a result of their
cationic character which imparts high electrophilicity. Herein, we report the synthesis …

This study investigates the reactivity of 5-SIDipp-boranes and haloboranes (5-SIDipp= 1, 3-
bis (2, 6-diisopropylphenyl)-imidazolin-2-ylidene) with Lewis acids (AlCl3 and GaCl3). The …

Herein, we have undertaken the synthesis and investigated the reactivity of a 6-membered
saturated NHC borane adduct (1). Direct electrophilic halogenation of 1 with a stoichiometric …

Activation of N‐heterocyclic carbene boranes (NHC⋅ BH3) by I2 enables the metal‐free
catalytic C− H borylation of heteroarenes with formation of H2 as the by‐product in a process …

Abstract The reaction of 8‐(trimethylsiloxy) quinoline (QOTMS) with BCl3 and (aryl) BCl2
forms QOBCl2 and QOBCl (aryl). The subsequent addition of stoichiometric AlCl3 follows …

The past 5 years has witnessed considerable growth in the field of borocation chemistry with
a multitude of new cations containing 2, 3 and 4 coordinate boron centres reported. Perhaps …
