Although known for over 90 years, only in the past two decades has the chemistry of diboron
(4) compounds been extensively explored. Many interesting structural features and reaction …

A long-standing challenge in synthetic chemistry is the direct, selective functionalization of
alkyl, alkenyl, and aryl CH bonds. Much research has been devoted to the selective …

Although chemically binding interatomic interactions are the basis for chemistry as a whole,
the understanding of the nature of the chemical bond is much less advanced than the …

In 1963 Shriver reported a metal-boron dative bond in a complex formulated as [(η5-C5H5)
2WH2 (BF3)]. 33 However, these findings were refuted around 30 years later when differing …

Looking backward at the beginning of the new millennium, dramatic progress in the scope
and the accuracy of quantum chemistry can be seen, particulary when current applications …

Over the past decade, transition metal complexes of boron have become established as the
fourth class of compounds involving direct metal–boron interactions. In contrast to the other …

In this paper, the trans influence of boryl ligands, together with that of other ligands
commonly believed to have a strong trans influence, has been investigated theoretically via …

Since the publication of the last review in 1998, the transition‐metal chemistry of boron has
continued to raise unceasing interest. Boryl complexes, representing the most extensive …

The rhodium-catalyzed reaction of aryl 2-pyridyl ethers with a diboron reagent results in the
formation of arylboronic acid derivatives via activation of the C (aryl)–O bonds. The …

We synthesized a PBP pincer ligand precursor 2 and demonstrated its complexation with
iridium (I) to afford the coordinatively unsaturated [PBP](hydrido) chloroiridium complex 3 via …
