  abstract  = {Treatment of an anionic dimanganaborylene complex ([{Cp(CO)\(_2\)Mn}\(_2\)B]\(^-\)) with coinage metal cations stabilized by a very weakly coordinating Lewis base (SMe\(_2\)) led to the coordination of the incoming metal and subsequent displacement of dimethylsulfide in the formation of hexametalladiborides featuring planar four-membered M\(_2\)B\(_2\) cores (M = Cu, Au) comparable to transition metal clusters constructed around four-membered rings composed solely of coinage metals. The analogies between compounds consisting of B\(_2\)M\(_2\) units and M\(_4\) (M = Cu, Au) units speak to the often overlooked metalloid nature of boron. Treatment of one of these compounds (M = Cu) with a Lewis-basic metal fragment (Pt(PCy\(_3\))\(_2\)) led to the formation of a tetrametallaboride featuring two manganese, one copper and one platinum atom, all bound to boron in a geometry not yet seen for this kind of compound. Computational examination suggests that this geometry is the result of d\(^{10}\)-d\(^{10}\) dispersion interactions between the copper and platinum fragments.},

Neben der Salzeliminierung, Halogenidabstraktion und Dehydrierung, wurde eine neuartige Syntheseroute zu terminalen Borylenkomplexen durch Salz- und Silylhalogenideliminierung etabliert.

  abstract  = {Boroles are attracting broad interest for their myriad and diverse applications, including in synthesis, small molecule activation and functional materials. Their properties and reactivity are closely linked to the cyclic conjugated diene system, which has been shown to participate in cycloaddition reactions, such as the Diels-Alder reaction with alkynes. The reaction steps leading to boranorbornadienes, borepins and tricyclic boracyclohexenes from the thermal reaction of boroles with alkynes are seemingly well understood as judged from the literature. Herein, we question the long-established mechanistic picture of pericyclic rearrangements by demonstrating that seven-membered borepins (i. e., heptaphenylborepin and two derivatives substituted with a thienyl and chloride substituent on boron) exist in a dynamic equilibrium with the corresponding bicyclic boranorbornadienes, the direct Diels-Alder products, but are not isolable products from the reactions. Heating gradually converts the isomeric mixtures into fluorescent tricyclic boracyclohexenes, the most stable isomers in the series. Results from mechanistic DFT calculations reveal that the tricyclic compounds derive from the boranorbornadienes and not the borepins, which were previously believed to be intermediates in purely pericyclic processes.},

  abstract  = {A nickel/N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalytic system has been developed for the borylation of aryl sulfoxides with B\(_{2}\)(neop)\(_{2}\) (neop=neopentyl glycolato). A wide range of aryl sulfoxides with different electronic and steric properties were converted into the corresponding arylboronic esters in good yields. The regioselective borylation of unsymmetric diaryl sulfoxides was also feasible leading to borylation of the sterically less encumbered aryl substituent. Competition experiments demonstrated that an electron-deficient aryl moiety reacts preferentially. The origin of the selectivity in the Ni-catalyzed borylation of electronically biased unsymmetrical diaryl sulfoxide lies in the oxidative addition step of the catalytic cycle, as oxidative addition of methoxyphenyl 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl sulfoxide to the Ni(0) complex occurs selectively to give the structurally characterized complex trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(4-CF\(_{3}\)-C\(_{6}\)H\(_{4}\)){(SO)-4-MeO-C\(_{6}\)H\(_{4}\)}] 4.

A simple pyridyldiborene is formed when an NHC-stabilized diboryne is combined with pyridine, while a CAAC-stabilized diboryne leads to activation of two pyridine molecules to give a tricyclic alkylideneborane, which can be forced to undergo a further H-shift resulting in a zwitterionic, doubly benzo-fused 1,3,2,5-diazadiborinine by heating.

  abstract  = {The purpose of the present work was, in the first part, to investigate the potential of iron-based metal complexes in catalytic borylation reactions with alkyl halides as substrates and B2pin2 as the borylation reagent. Moreover, extended studies of the recently reported, copper mediated borylation reactions of aryl halides were performed, including the screening of substrates and alkoxy bases as well as ligand-screening. Investigations were undertaken on the role of Cu-nanoparticles, which might be involved in this catalytic reaction. Furthermore, Cu-phosphine complexes were synthesized as precursors, but attempts to isolate Cu-boryl species which are intermediates in the proposed catalytic cycle were unsuccessful, although 11B NMR evidence for a Cu-boryl complex was obtained. In the second part of this work, the alternative, Lewis-acidic diboron(4) compound bis(ethylene glycolato)diboron (B2eg2) was synthesized to compare its reactivity with the reactivity of other diboron(4) compounds (e.g. B2neop2, B2cat2, B2pin2 and B2(NMe2)4). Therefore, reactions of B2eg2 with different Lewis-bases, such as NHCs and phosphines, were performed to investigate the possible formation of sp2-sp3 or sp3-sp3 adducts and ring-expansion reactions (RERs). The aim was to obtain a better general insight into the reactivity of diboron(4) compounds with Lewis-bases because they are both used as reactants in transition metal-catalyzed and metal-free borylation reactions. Understanding the B-B bond activation process promoted by Lewis-bases provides a new perspective on the reaction pathways available for various borylation reactions.},

These reactions are reminiscent of the sequestration of subvalent oxygen and nitrogen in the formation of oxiranes and aziridines; however, such reactivity is not known between alkenes and the heavy chalcogens. Although carbon is too electronegative to affect the reduction of elements with lower relative electronegativity, the highly reducing nature of the B B double bond enables reactions with Se0 and Te0. The capacity of multiple bonds between boron atoms to donate electron density is highlighted in reactions where diborynes behave as nucleophiles, attacking one of the two Te atoms of diaryltellurides, forming salts consisting of diboratellurenium cations and aryltelluride anions.},

Die Bor-{\"U}bergangsmetallmehrfachbindung wird gespalten, und die Boryleneinheit (BR) auf die C-C-Dreifachbindung {\"u}bertragen. Diese formale [2+1]-Cycloaddition macht Borirene (Boracyclopropene) in sehr guten Ausbeuten zug{\"a}nglich. In fr{\"u}heren Arbeiten ist die Borirensynthese entweder auf geringe Ausbeuten oder auf wenige Beispiele mit schwer zug{\"a}nglichen Edukten beschr{\"a}nkt. Die entwickelte Methode des Borylentranfers, macht die nach H{\"u}ckel kleinsten, aromatischen Systeme im Sinne einer „Eintopfreaktion" darstellbar. Die Verbindungen konnten vollst{\"a}ndig spektroskopisch und strukturell charakterisiert werden. Die photophysikalischen Eigenschaften der Borirene wurden mit UV/Vis-Spektroskopie untersucht, mit dem Ergebnis, dass diese im nicht sichtbaren Bereich des Spektrums absorbieren.Die allgemeine Anwendbarkeit des Borylentransfers konnte durch eine doppelte Borylen{\"u}bertragung auf Diine belegt werden. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass zwei Aminoboryleneinheiten st{\"o}chiometrisch auf ein Substrat {\"u}bertragen werden. Auf diese Weise konnten erstmalig Bisborirene spektroskopisch und strukturell charakterisiert werden. Die R{\"o}ntgenstrukturanalysen der Bisborirene 82 und 86 haben ergeben, dass aufgrund der sperrigen Bis(trimethylsilyl)aminosubstituenten eine starke Verdrillung der beiden Boracyclopropeneinheiten zueinander vorliegt. Im Falle von 82 sind beide Ebenen der dreigliedrigen Ringsysteme nahezu senkrecht zueinander angeordnet. Die in guten Ausbeuten synthetisierten Borirene konnten wiederum f{\"u}r deren Reaktivit{\"a}tsuntersuchungen eingesetzt werden. Interessanterweise war es m{\"o}glich, das Boriren 58e zu hydroborieren. In Gegenwart von 9-BBN erfolgte eine selektive B-C-Bindungsspaltung von 58e, unter Bildung einer B-H-Bindung. Ein weiterer Aspekt dieser Arbeit sind die Reaktivit{\"a}tsstudien der Borylenkomplexe 32 und 33, gegen{\"u}ber C=O-Doppelbindungen sowie C-N-Mehrfachbindungen. Es wurden durch die photochemischen Umsetzungen von 32 bzw. 33 mit Aceton, Benzophenon und tert-Butylcyanid, andere borhaltige Verbindungen erhalten, deren Konstitution aber nicht gekl{\"a}rt werden konnte. Die Reaktivit{\"a}tsuntersuchungen von 32 und 33 gegen{\"u}ber Alkenen, hat ergeben, dass eine formale Insertion des Borylenliganden in eine olefinische C-H-Bindung stattfindet. C-H-Aktivierungen durch Borylene wurden vorher nur in der Matrix beobachtet oder postuliert, ohne die erhaltenen Reaktionsprodukte zu charakterisieren. Durch die photochemische Umsetzung von 32 mit 3,3-Dimethyl-1-buten sind die Verbindungen 104 und 105 zug{\"a}nglich (Abb. 78). Das Vinylaminoboran 104 wurde als farblose Fl{\"u}ssigkeit in 31\% Ausbeute erhalten, und das Tieftemperatur 1H-NMR-Spektrum zeigte deutlich ein Signal des borgebundenen H-Atoms bei = 5.47ppm. Die Struktur des Olefinkomplexes 105 konnte durch R{\"o}ntgenstrukturanalyse gekl{\"a}rt werden und in {\"U}bereinstimmung mit der NMR-Spektroskopie, lassen sich die Bindungsverh{\"a}ltnisse der B-H-Bindung als sigma-Koordination zum Chromzentrum erkl{\"a}ren.},

  abstract  = {A series of methylene-bridged bis(triarylboranes) has been synthesized via two complementary routes using metal-free catalytic Si/B exchange condensation under mild conditions. The title compounds comprise two borane moieties that show effective internal π-conjugation involving the respective boron centers and the adjacent hetaryl groups. Conjugation between both borane units, however, is disrupted by the aliphatic linker. Cyclic voltammetry revealed minimal electronic communication between the boron centers, as evidenced by two closely spaced reduction processes. The UV-vis spectra showed bathochromic shifted absorption bands compared to related monoboranes, which is attributed to the methylene bridge. A further red-shift results upon introduction of methyl or SiMe\(_3\) groups at the terminal thiophene rings.},

  abstract  = {In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird {\"u}ber die Synthese, Struktur und katalytische Aktivit{\"a}t von borverbr{\"u}ckten Gruppe 4 Metallocenophanen berichtet, die als Katalysatoren in der Ziegler-Natta-artigen Olefinpolymerisation eingesetzt werden k{\"o}nnen. Neben den bereits bekannten [1]Borametallocenophanen wurden weitere Komplexe mit unterschiedlichen Substituenten, als auch die bislang unbekannten [2]Borametallocenophane synthetisiert und charakterisiert. Vergleichende Polymerisationsstudien einer Reihe von unterschiedlich substituierten [n]Borametallocenophanen (n = 1,2) wurden unter definierten Standardbedingungen durchgef{\"u}hrt, um einen m{\"o}glichen Einfluss der am Boratom gebundenen Substituenten zu beobachten. Weitergehende Untersuchungen bezogen sich auf den Einfluss dieser Substituenten auf sterische und elektronische Einfl{\"u}sse, die mit den Polymerisationsergebnissen korreliert wurden. Hierbei wurden die sterischen Einfl{\"u}sse der verschiedenen Substituenten anhand der Kristallstrukturen festgemacht; elektronische Einfl{\"u}sse sollten anhand von CO Schwingungen, die mittels Infrarotspektroskopie beobachtet werden k{\"o}nnen, von korrespondierenden Carbonylkomplexen und alternativ mittels 91Zr-NMR Spektroskopie untersucht werden.},

  abstract  = {2,2′-Bipyridyl is shown to spontaneously abstract a borylene fragment (R-B:) from various hypovalent boron compounds. This process is a redox reaction in which the bipyridine is reduced and becomes a dianionic substituent bound to boron through its two nitrogen atoms. Various transition metal-borylene complexes and diboranes, as a well as a diborene, take part in this reaction. In the latter case, our results show an intriguing example of the homolytic cleavage of a B═B double bond.},
