Boron's unique position in the Periodic Table, that is, at the apex of the line separating
metals and nonmetals, makes it highly versatile in chemical reactions and applications …

Recently discovered homogeneous frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) have attracted much
attention for metal-free catalysis due to their promising potential for the activation of small …

In 1995, the synthesis, properties and remarkable hydroboration activity of bis-
pentafluorophenyl borane was first reported. Its reactivity stems from the ready accessibility …

Activation of small molecules is considered to be a central concern in the theoretical
investigation of environment‐and energy‐related catalytic conversions. Sub‐nanostructured …

As part of our ongoing studies of water tolerant Lewis acids, we have synthesized and
investigated the properties of Sb (C6F5) 3 (O2C6Cl4), a fluorinated stiborane whose Lewis …

The principle of frustrated Lewis acid/base pairs has reached gold chemistry. Based on
sterical repulsion at the gold center, an otherwise typical coordination can be prevented …

Borinic acids have typically not been considered as hydrogen bond donor groups in
molecular recognition. Described herein is a bifunctional borane/borinic acid derivative (2) …

Abstract An annulated 1, 3, 2, 5‐diazadiborinine with 14 π electrons has been synthesized
and fully characterized. Experimental and computational studies revealed that this …

Direkt an der Grenze zwischen Metallen und Nichtmetallen angesiedelt, nimmt das Element
Bor eine einzigartige Position im Periodensystem ein. Diese besondere Stellung ermöglicht …

Activation of dioxygen (O2) by 1, 4, 2, 5-diazadiborinine 1 is reported. Two boron centers in
1 undergo a formal [4+ 2] cycloaddition with O2 at room temperature affording a bicyclo [2.2 …
