A1 - Dellermann, Theresa A1 - Müller, Marcel A1 - Braunschweig, Holger T1 - Mild synthesis of diboryldiborenes by diboration of B–B triple bonds JF - Chemical Science N2 - A set of diboryldiborenes are prepared by the mild, catalyst-free, room-temperature diboration of the B–B triple bonds of doubly base-stabilized diborynes. Two of the product diboryldiborenes are found to be air- and water-stable in the solid state, an effect that is attributed to their high crystallinity and extreme insolubility in a wide range of solvents.
