Their reactions with monohydroboranes lead to discrete boryl-appended diborane(4) species, while dihydroboranes induce their catenation to oligomeric species, the first known examples of well-characterized macromolecular species with B-B bonds. The oligomeric species were found to comprise up to ten repeat units and are soluble in common organic solvents. Some of the oligomeric species have good air stability and all were characterized by NMR and vibrational spectroscopy and size-exclusion chromatography techniques.}, language = {en} } @article{MatlerArrowsmithSchorretal.2021, author = {Matler, Alexander and Arrowsmith, Merle and Schorr, Fabian and Hermann, Alexander and Hofmann, Alexander and Lenczyk, Carsten and Braunschweig, Holger}, title = {Reactivity of Terminal Iron Borylenes and Bis(borylenes) with Carbodiimides: Cycloaddition, Metathesis, Insertion and C-H Activation Pathways}, series = {European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry}, volume = {2021}, journal = {European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry}, number = {45}, doi = {10.1002/ejic.202100629}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-257397}, pages = {4619-4631}, year = {2021}, abstract = {The reactions of carbodiimides with the iron arylborylene complex [Fe=BDur(CO)\(_{3}\)(PMe\(_{3}\))] (Dur=2,3,5,6-Me\(_{4}\)C\(_{6}\)H) and the iron bis(borylene) complex [Fe{=BDur}{=BN(SiMe\(_{3}\))\(_{2}\)}(CO)\(_{3}\)] yield a wide variety of temperature-dependent products, including known FeBNC and novel FeBNB metallacycles, complexes of N-heterocyclic boracarbene and spiro-boracarbene ligands and a unique 1,3,2,4-diazadiborolyl pianostool complex, characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.
