A1 - Thiess, Torsten A1 - Braunschweig, Holger T1 - CO\(_2\) Binding and Splitting by Boron–Boron Multiple Bonds T2 - Angewandte Chemie, International Edition N2 - CO\(_2\) is found to undergo room-temperature, ambient- pressure reactions with two species containing boron-boron multiple bonds, leading to incorporation of either one or two CO\(_2\) molecules. In one case, a thermally-unstable intermediate was structurally characterized, indicating the operation of an initial 2+2 cycloaddition mechanism in the reaction.

While structurally analogous to well‐known μ‐borylene complexes, in which delocalized dative three‐center‐two‐electron M‐B‐M bonding prevails, theoretical investigations into the nature of Pt−B bonding in these A‐frame complexes show them to be rare dimetalla(di)boranes displaying two electron‐sharing Pt−B σ‐bonds. This is experimentally reflected in the low kinetic stability of these compounds, which are prone to loss of the (di)boron bridgehead unit.
