These findings indicate that the increased steric demand of the Tip groups exerts influence solely on the B—B separation but not on the overall geometry of the title compound.

Section E, Structure reports online N2 - In the centrosymmetric molecular structure of the title compound \([Pt_2(C_6H_{14}P)_2H_2)(C_9H_{21}P)_2]\), each \(Pt^{II}\) atom is bound on one side to a phosphane ligand \((PiPr_3)\) and a hydrido ligand. On the other side, it is bound to two phosphanide ligands \((μ-PiPr_2)\), which engage a bridging position between the two \(Pt^{II}\) atoms, forming a distorted square-planar structure motif. The PtPt distance is 3.6755(2)Å. A comparable molecular structure was observed for bis-(μ-di-tert-butyl-phosphanido)bis-[hydrido(triethyl-phosphane)platinum(II)] [Itazaki et al. (2004 ).

The \(Pt^{II}\) atom is additionally bound to a chloride ligand situated trans to the bridging borylene, and a tri­cyclo­hexyl­phosphane ligand \((PCy_3)\) trans to the carbonyl ligand, forming a distorted square-planar structural motif at the \(Pt^{II}\) atom. The \(Fe_{II}\) atom is bound to a penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dienyl ligand \([η^5-C_5(CH_3)_5]\) and one carbonyl ligand (CO), forming a piano-stool structure.

With diborenes, the products obtained are highly dependent on the substitution pattern at the boron atoms, with both 1,1- and 1,2- hydrophosphinations observed. With a symmetrical diboryne, 1,2-hydrophosphination yields a hydro(phosphino)diborene. The different mechanistic pathways for the hydrophosphination of diborenes are rationalised with the aid of density functional theory calculations.

In contrast, cycloaddition reactions of heavier alkene and alkyne analogues, though limited in scope, proceed uncatalyzed. In this work we present the first spontaneous cycloaddition reactions of lighter alkene and alkyne analogues. Selective addition of unactivated alkynes to boron–boron multiple bonds under ambient con- ditions yielded diborocarbon equivalents of simple aromatic hydrocarbons, including the first neutral 6 π-aromatic dibora- benzene compound, a 2  π-aromatic triplet biradical 1,3-dibor- ete, and a phosphine-stabilized 2  π-homoaromatic 1,3-dihydro- 1,3-diborete. DFT calculations suggest that all three com- pounds are aromatic and show frontier molecular orbitals matching those of the related aromatic hydrocarbons, C\(_6\)H\(_6\) and C\(_4\)H\(_4\)\(^{2+}\), and homoaromatic C\(_4\)H\(_5\)\(^+\).

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.
