Abstract

No BO problem! Low-coordinate boron centers can be stabilized by using late transition metals, for example a platinum bisphosphine fragment. [Pt(PCy3)2] reacts with Br2BOSiMe3 to give trans-[(PCy3)2PtBr(BO)], which contains an unprecedented thermally stable BO bond (see picture, Cy= cyclohexyl).
