In contrast, the limited oxidation-state flexibility of the s-block metals has long stood in the way of their participation in sophisticated π-bonding arrangements, and truly antiaromatic systems containing s-block metals are altogether absent or remain poorly defined. Using spectroscopic, structural, and computational techniques, we present herein the synthesis and authentication of a heterocyclic compound containing the alkaline earth metal beryllium that exhibits significant antiaromaticity, and detail its chemical reduction and Lewis-base-coordination chemistry.}, language = {en} } @article{RangFantuzziArrowsmithetal.2021, author = {Rang, Maximilian and Fantuzzi, Felipe and Arrowsmith, Merle and Krummenacher, Ivo and Beck, Eva and Witte, Robert and Matler, Alexander and Rempel, Anna and Bischof, Tobias and Radacki, Krzysztof and Engels, Bernd and Braunschweig, Holger}, title = {Reduktion und Umlagerung eines Bor(I)-Carbonylkomplexes}, series = {Angewandte Chemie}, volume = {133}, journal = {Angewandte Chemie}, number = {6}, doi = {10.1002/ange.202014167}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-224409}, pages = {3000 -- 3005}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Bei der Einelektronenreduktion eines durch eine cyclisches (Alkyl)(amino)carben (CAAC) stabilisierten Arylborylen-Carbonylkomplexes erfolgt die Bildung eines dimeren Borylketyl-Radikalanions, bedingt durch eine intramolekulare Arylmigration zum CO Kohlenstoffatom.
