Assembly of a planar, tricyclic B4N8 framework with s-indacene structure
2007
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
Unusual B4N2C2 Ligand in a Ruthenium Pseudo-Triple-Decker Sandwich Complex Displaying Three Reversible Electron-Transfer Steps
2008
Open, sesame: The reaction of a heterobicyclic pentalenediyl-like Me2Ph4B4N2C2 dianion with [{(C5Me5)RuCl}4] cleaves the N[BOND]N bond of the ligand and affords a pseudo-triple-decker sandwich complex containing a B4N2C2 middle deck (see picture). This eight-membered ring features nearly linear B-N-B moieties and brings the ruthenium centers unusually close. Cyclic voltammetry indicates efficient electron delocalization over the framework. peerReviewed
