  abstract  = {This work involves the synthesis and reactivity of pseudohalide-substituted boranes and borylenes. A series of compounds of the type (CAAC)BR2Y (CAAC = cyclic alkyl(amino)carbene; R = H, Br; Y = CN, NCS, PCO) were prepared first. The two-electron reduction of (CAAC)BBr2Y (Y = CN, NCS) in the presence of a second Lewis base L (L = N-heterocyclic carbene) resulted in the formation of the corresponding doubly Lewis base-stabilized pseudohaloborylenes (CAAC)(L)BY. These borylenes show versatile reactivity patterns, including their oxidation to the corresponding radical cations, coordination via the respective pseudohalide substituent to group 6 metal carbonyl complexes, as well as a boron-centered protonation with Br{\o}nsted acids to boronium cations. Reduction of (CAAC)BBr2(NCS) in the absence of a second donor ligand, led to the formation of boron-doped thiazolothiazoles via reductive dimerization of two isothiocyanatoborylenes. These B,N,S-heterocycles possess a low degree of aromaticity as well as interesting photophysical properties and can furthermore be protonated as well as hydroborated. Additionally, CAAC adducts of the parent boraphosphaketene (CAAC)BH2(PCO) could be prepared, which readily reacted with boroles [Ph4BR'] (R' = aryl) via decarbonylation in a ring expansion reaction. The obtained 1,2-phosphaborinines represent B,P-isosteres of benzene and consequently could be coordinated to metal carbonyl complexes of the chromium triade via η6-coordination, resulting in new half-sandwich complexes thereof.},
