Boron cations are elusive and highly electrophilic species that play a key role in the
chemistry of boron. Despite early interest in the chemistry of boron cations, until recently they …

Metal‐ligand cooperativity (MLC) had a tremendous impact on d‐block metal‐mediated
bond activation and homogeneous catalysis. Is this concept translatable to the elements of …

Oxidative addition of phenylacetylene through CH bond cleavage to form the MgII-dpp-bian
