Abstract

The first example of a stable oxoborane monomer (LB=O) stabilized by complexation to AlCl3 has been prepared by the reaction of LAlCl2 with BCl3 followed by treatment with H2O in CH2Cl2 (L = [HC(CMe)2(NC6F5)2]). DFT calculations reveal that considerable boron-oxygen double bond character is retained in this complex.
