Assembly of a planar, tricyclic B4N8 framework with s-indacene structure
A neutral, formally 16π-electron, tricyclic tetrahydrazidotetraborane was obtained in a two-step procedure involving self-assembly of a dilithiodiborate with B4N8 framework and subsequent oxidation of the phenylborate moieties to boranes and biphenyl using Fe(II) as an oxidant. peerReviewed
More electron rich than cyclopentadienyl: 1,2-diaza-3,5-diborolyl as a ligand in ferrocene and ruthenocene analogs
Ruthenium and iron sandwich complexes incorporating cyclopentadienyl analogs with CB2N2− skeletons were characterized. Electrochemical measurements supported by computational studies revealed that in combination with larger metal ions such as Ru the CB2N2− ligand can be more electron-rich than its organic counterpart. peerReviewed
