Abstract
First examples of diborane(6) dianions decorated with weakly coordination B(C6F5)3 (BCF) groups and SiEt3 + moieties have been synthesized demonstrating the synthetic potential of the [B2(CN)6]2- dianion. [B2{CNB(C6F5)3}6]2- (1) was isolated as potassium and tetrabutylammonium salt. 1 is a rare example for a weakly coordinating dianion and it was used for the stabilization of the carbocation [Ph3C]+ and the oxonium acid [H(OEt2)2]+. Reaction of [Ph3C]21 with HSiEt3 resulted in the silylated neutral diborane(6) [B2{CNB(C6F5)3}4(CNSiEt3)2] (2) in which two BCF groups have been selectively replaced by SiEt3 + substituents, underscoring the stability and chemical versatility of the [B2(CN)6]2- dianion. The chemical properties and physicochemical data of 1 and 2 provide insight into electronic, coordinating, and steric properties of theses novel diborane(6) compounds.

Abstract
BN/CC isosterism is an effective strategy to build hybrid functional molecules with unique properties. In contrast to the alkynyl iminium salts derived from cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes (CAACs) that feature only one reversible reduction wave, the isoelectronic cationic CAAC-iminoboryl adducts could be singly and doubly reduced smoothly. Both the resultant neutral radical and anionic azaborataallenes bear NBC-mixed allenic structures. The former radical has a high spin-density of 0.55e at CCAAC carbon, yet exhibits formal boron-centered radical reactivity. The latter azaborataallenes feature the nucleophilic CCAAC center and polar N(δ-)═B(δ+)═C(δ-) unit, and readily undergo nucleophilic substitution, isocyanide insertion, dipolar addition and cycloaddition reactions etc. The N-substituents have been shown to have a significant influence on the solid-state structure, thermal stability, and reactivity of azaborataallenes. This work showcases the allenic BN-unsaturated species as versatile building blocks in organic synthesis.

Abstract
Hydrosilanes undergo mild, uncatalyzed single and double 1,2-addition across the B-B triple bonds of diborynes, leading to an unsymmetrical silyldiborene and compounds with novel non-cluster three-membered B2Si rings. The reactions are a new addition to the very few catalyst- and alkali-metal-free methods available for the construction of B-Si bonds.

Abstract
Borataalkenes and boraalkenes are the boron-containing isoelectronic analogues of alkenes and vinyl cations respectively. Compared with alkenes, the borataalkene and boraalkene ligand motifs in transition metal coordination chemistry are relatively underexplored. In this review, the synthesis of borataalkene and boraalkene complexes and other transition metal complexes featuring the η2-B,C coordination mode is described. The diversity of coordination modes and geometry in these complexes, and the spectroscopic and structural evidence supporting their assignments is disclosed as well as computational analysis of bonding. The applications of the borataalkene ligand motif in synthetic organic homogeneous catalysis, especially those involving geminal bis(pinacolatoboronates) and 1,4-azaborines, are discussed.

Abstract
This work describes a straightforward method to synthesize a borylborylene without proceeding via the rearrangement of a diborene. An amidinato amidosilylene [LSiNMe2] (L = PhC(NtBu)2) and PMe3 were reacted with an N-phosphinoamidinato diborane 1 and KC8 to form a stable silylene-borylborylene 2 and a persistent phosphine-borylborylene 3, respectively. Compound 2 is stable as the borylene center is well stabilized by the silylene donor and boryl substituent, whereas compound 3 is unstable in solution due to labile PMe3. The latter was illustrated by reacting compound 3 with Ar'NC (Ar' = 2,6-Me2C6H3), where Ar'NC displaced PMe3 and inserted into the N-phosphinoamidinate ligand and B-B bond to form compound 4.

Abstract
A series of unprecedently air‐stable (tricyanoboryl)plumbate anions was obtained by the reaction of the boron‐centered nucleophile B(CN)32− with triorganyllead halides. Salts of the anions [R3PbB(CN)3]− (R=Ph, Et) were isolated and found to be stable in air at room temperature. In the case of Me3PbHal (Hal=Cl, Br), a mixture of the anions [Me4−nPb{B(CN)3}n]n− (n=1, 2) was obtained. The [Et3PbB(CN)3]− ion undergoes stepwise dismutation in aqueous solution to yield the plumbate anions [Et4−nPb{B(CN)3}n]n− (n=1–4) and PbEt4 as by‐product. The reaction rate increases with decreasing pH value of the aqueous solution or by bubbling O2 through the reaction mixture. Adjustment of the conditions allowed the selective formation and isolation of salts of all anions of the series [Et4−nPb{B(CN)3}n]n− (n=2–4) including the homoleptic tetraanion [Pb{B(CN)3}4]4−.

Ionic Liquids for the Selective Solvent Extraction of Lithium from Aqueous Solutions: A Theoretical Selection Using COSMO-RS. MINERALS 2022.

Abstract
In this study, the theoretical design of ionic liquids (ILs) for predicting selective extraction of lithium from brines has been conducted using COSMO-RS. A theoretical model for the solvent extraction (SX) of the metal species present in brines was established considering extraction stoichiometry, the distribution of the extractants between aqueous and IL phases, and IL dissociation in the aqueous phase. Theoretical results were validated using experimental extraction percentages from previous works. Results indicate that, in general, the theoretical results for lithium extraction follow experimental trends, except from magnesium extraction. Finally, based on the model, an IL was proposed that was based on the phosphonium cation as the extractant, along with the phase modifier tributylphosphate (TBP) in an organic diluent in order to improve selectivity for lithium extraction over sodium. These results provide an insight for the application of ILs in lithium processing, avoiding the long purification times reported in the conventional process.

Abstract
The reactions of boratabenzene and borataphenanthrene anions with group 11 Ph3PMCl reagents furnished η2 coordination complexes, with the exception of the copper boratabenzene species that adopted an η6 mode. The binding of arene ligands to copper in an η6 manner is rare, and altering the ancillary ligand on copper to an N-heterocyclic carbene switched the binding of the boratabenzene to η2, indicating that such ligands are capable of vacating coordination sites. The η2 coordination complexes bind side-on, akin to olefins, via a borataalkene unit, although with the carbon atom much more proximal to the metal center than boron.

Abstract
The parent borylene (CAAC)(Me3P)BH, 1 (CAAC=cyclic alkyl(amino)carbene), acts both as a Lewis base and one‐electron reducing agent towards group 13 trichlorides (ECl3, E=B, Al, Ga, In), yielding the adducts 1‐ECl3 and increasing proportions of the radical cation [1]•+ for the heavier group 13 analogues. With boron trihalides (BX3, X=F, Cl, Br, I) 1 undergoes sequential adduct formation and halide abstraction reactions to yield borylboronium cations and shows an increasing tendency towards redox processes for the heavier halides. Calculations confirm that 1 acts as a strong Lewis base towards EX3 and show a marked increase in the B−E bond dissociation energies down both group 13 and the halide group.

Abstract
A series of linear late transition metal (M=Cu, Ag, Au and Zn) complexes featuring a side-on [B=C]- containing ligand have been isolated and characterised. The [B=C]- moiety is isoelectronic with the C=C system of an alkene. Comparison across the series shows that in the solid-state, deviation between the η2 and η1 coordination mode occurs. A related zinc complex containing two [B=C]- ligands was prepared as a further point of comparison for the η1 coordination mode. The bonding in these new complexes has been interrogated by computational techniques (QTAIM, NBO, ETS-NOCV) and rationalised in terms of the Dewar-Chatt-Duncanson model. The combined structural and computational data provide unique insight into catalytically relevant linear d10 complexes of Cu, Ag and Au. Slippage is proposed to play a key role in catalytic reactions of alkenes through disruption and polarisation of the π-system. Through the preparation and analysis of a consistent series of group 11 complexes, we show that variation of the metal can impact the coordination mode and hence substrate activation.

Abstract
Reduction of (CAAC)BBr2 (NCS) (CAAC=cyclic alkyl(amino)carbene) in the presence of a Lewis base L yields tricoordinate (CAAC)LB(NCS) borylenes which undergo reversible E/Z-isomerization. The same reduction in the absence of L yields deep blue, bis(CAAC)-stabilized, boron-doped, aromatic thiazolothiazoles resulting from the dimerization of dicoordinate (CAAC)B(NCS) borylene intermediates.

Abstract
Boragermene 3 featuring a double bond between the Ge and dicoordinate B atoms has been synthesized for the first time by reacting the cyclic (alkyl)(boryl)germylene-PMe3 adduct 1 with Cl2 BN(SiMe3 )2 followed by reductive dehalogenation with KC8 . Addition of a Lewis base (Me NHC) to 3 leads to the formation of the corresponding adduct 4, which shows double bond character between the Ge and tricoordinate B atoms. Compound 3 undergoes hydrogenation with H2 concomitant with a complete scission of the Ge=B bond.

Abstract
A cyclic (alkyl)(amino)germylene undergoes a ring expansion reaction with dibromomesitylborane (MesBBr2 ) to afford a six-membered dibromogermane derivative. In the presence of Lewis bases (PMe3 or Me NHC), reduction of the latter with two equivalents of potassium graphite (KC8 ) gives rise to cyclic (alkyl)(boryl)germylene-Lewis base adducts. Upon heating, the germylene-PMe3 adduct reacts with H2 to yield a germane, probably via a base-free germylene featuring a small HOMO-LUMO gap.

Abstract
A doubly cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene-stabilised dihydroboronium cation undergoes fully reversible 2e– reduction to a stable hydroboryl anion via B-to-C hydrogen migration. Subsequent 1e– oxidation yields a bench-stable neutral hydroboryl radical.
The addition of Lewis bases to a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC)-supported dihydroboron triflate yields the mixed doubly base-stabilised dihydroboryl cations [(CAAC)BH2L]+. Of these, [(CAAC)2BH2]OTf (OTf = triflate) underwent facile two-electron reduction with KC8 owing to a 1,2-hydride migration from boron to the carbene carbon to yield a stable hydroboryl anion. One-electron oxidation of the latter yielded the first neutral hydroboryl radical, which is bench-stable in the solid state.

Abstract
Singly NHC-coordinated (aminoboryl)aminoborenium salts react with Na2 [Fe(CO)4 ] to yield stable coordination complexes of aminoborylene-stabilized aminoborylenes, which exhibit exceptional σ-donor properties. Upon photolytic CO extrusion from the metal center, the diboron ligand adopts a novel η3 -BBN coordination mode, where bond-strengthening backdonation from the metal center into the vacant B-B π-orbital is observed. This bonding situation can be alternatively described as a Fe-diaminodiborene complex. In a related reduction of CAAC-stabilized (aminoboryl)aminoborenium with KC8 , the reduced species can be captured with nucleophiles to form three-coordinate (diaminoboryl)borylenes, where both amino groups have migrated to the distal boron atom. Collectively, these reactions illustrate the isomeric flexibility imparted by amino groups on this reduced diboron system, thus opening multiple avenues of novel reactivity.

Abstract
The reactivity of two nucleophilic neutral sp2-sp3 diboranes towards chalcogens is presented herein. Both diboranes(5) serve as two-electron reductants, incorporating oxygen, sulfur and selenium atoms. Treatment with chalcogen sources results in the oxidative insertion of one chalcogen atom into the B-B single bond, while depending on the negative inductive effect of the chalcogen and the boron bound aryl substituent further N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ring expansion and hydride migration can occur. These reactions provide access to unprecedented six- or seven-membered heterocycles and help to illuminate the pseudo-multiple bonding character of hydrogen-bridged B-B single bonds.

Abstract
Mixed-base-stabilised chloroborylenes are easily accessed by twofold reduction of a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene-supported trichloroborane in the presence of a second Lewis base, thus enabling fine-tuning of the electronic properties of the electron-rich borylene centre.
The one-electron reduction of (CAACMe)BCl3 (CAACMe = 1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3,3,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidin-2-ylidene) yields the dichloroboryl radical [(CAACMe)BCl2]˙. Furthermore, the twofold reduction of (CAACMe)BCl3 in the presence of a range of Lewis bases (L = CAACMe, N-heterocyclic carbene, phosphine) yields a series of doubly base-supported (CAACMe)LBCl chloroborylenes, all of which were structurally characterised. NMR and UV-vis spectroscopic and electrochemical data for (CAACMe)LBCl show that the boron centre becomes more electron-rich and the HOMO–LUMO gap widens as L becomes less π-accepting. A [(CAACMe)BCl2]– boryl anion coordination polymer was isolated as a potential intermediate in these reductions. In most cases the reduction of the chloroborylenes resulted in the formation of the corresponding hydroborylenes or derivatives thereof, as well as ligand C–H activation products.

Abstract
The coordination chemistry and stability of aminoborylene ligands bearing different N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) stabilizing groups has been investigated with Group VI and VIII metals. NHC-aminoborylene complexes have been accessed via reduction of NHC-dihaloaminoborane adducts with Na2[M(CO) x] species (M = Fe, Ru, Cr, W). Imidazol-2-ylidene-stabilized aminoborylene ligands were found to afford thermally robust metal-borylene complexes, which are inert to oxidation, hydrolysis, and insertion of unsaturated substrates. Such ligands have additionally been demonstrated to be significantly more electron releasing than NHCs and other carbon-based ligands by infrared spectroscopy, and can be regarded as unique examples of highly nucleophilic borylene ligands isolobal to classical NHCs. In contrast, cyclic alkylaminocarbene (CAAC)-bound dihaloaminoboranes were found to be reduced by one or two electrons upon reaction with Na2[M(CO) x] species to form either a stable borane-centered radical, or the free CAAC-aminoborylene complex, which further reacts to form a carbonyl-stabilized aminoborylene. Borylene-to-CO migration was also observed upon reaction of a ruthenium imidazol-2-ylidene aminoborylene complex with B(C6F5)3, where the product borylene remains trapped by the Ru center.

Abstract
A carbene-stabilised neutral boryl radical and a boryl anion are isolated via selective one- and two-electron reduction of a diamidocarbene (DAC) adduct of dibromo(pentafluorophenyl)borane. Both the radical and the anion have been characterised by various spectroscopic techniques in solution, while the structures have been ascertained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In contrast, the reduction of the analogous cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene (CAAC) adduct yields a C-H activation product.

Abstract
The two-fold reduction of (cAAC)BHX2 (cAAC = 1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3,3,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidin-2-ylidene; X = Cl, Br) provides a facile, high-yielding route to the dihydrodiborene (cAAC)2B2H2. The (chloro)hydroboryl anion reduction intermediate was successfully isolated using a crown ether. Overreduction of the diborene to its dianion [(cAAC)2B2H2]2- causes a decrease in the B-B bond order whereas the B-C bond orders increase.

Abstract
A family of doubly isonitrile-stabilized terphenyl borylenes could be obtained by addition of three equivalents of isonitrile to the corresponding Cr and W terminal terphenyl-borylene complexes. The mechanism of isonitrile- and carbon-monoxide-induced borylene liberation was investigated computationally and found to be significantly exergonic in both cases. Furthermore, addition of a small N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) to a terminal Cr borylene complex results in release of an NHC-stabilized borylene carbonyl species, whereas the analogous reaction with bulkier phosphines results in metal-centered substitution.

Abstract
The borylene-carbonyl moiety in [bis(silylene)B(CO)][WBr(CO)5 ] shows diverse reactivity. Reduction, migration, and complete cleavage of CO have been observed at the boron center, leading to the formation of new types of borylenes. These reactions not only serve as new methods for the synthesis of various stable borylenes, but also demonstrate that main-group-element compounds can mimic the behavior of transition-metal complexes.

Abstract
The first reactivity of the hydroborylene ligand is described, giving access to a remarkable range of unprecedented boron-centered species.
For the first time, the reactivity of the metal- and N-heterocyclic carbene-supported monovalent hydroborylene is reported. Isocyanides react with the hydroborylene NiII complex [{cat(TMSL)Si}(Cl)Ni←:BH(NHC)2] 1 (cat = ortho-C6H4O2; TMSL = N(SiMe3)(Dipp); Dipp = 2,6-Pri2C6H3; NHC = :C[(Pri)NC(Me)]2) to form the hydride-bridged hydroborylene-NiII complexes 2. The reaction of 1 with isoelectronic CO, however, is reversible and furnishes the related unprecedented hydride- and CO-bridged hydroborylene NiII complex 2-CO, which undergoes isomerisation through silyl/NHC exchange at ambient temperature to afford the corresponding hydro(silyl)boryl NiII complex 3. Markedly, 2 readily and quantitatively react with one further molar equiv. of isocyanide to give, under borylene liberation and H/Cl ligand exchange, boraketiminium species, which represent cationic BI complexes. These latter compounds are highly reactive in solution, and can undergo quantitative transformation into previously unknown cyanoborenium cations.

Abstract
The self-stabilizing, tetrameric cyanoborylene [(cAAC)B(CN)]4 (I, cAAC = 1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3,3,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidin-2-ylidene) and its diborene relative, [(cAAC)(CN)B[double bond, length as m-dash]B(CN)(cAAC)] (II), both react with disulfides and diselenides to yield the corresponding cAAC-supported cyanoboron bis(chalcogenides). Furthermore, reactions of I or II with elemental sulfur and selenium in various stoichiometries provided access to a variety of cAAC-stabilized cyanoboron-chalcogen heterocycles, including a unique dithiaborirane, a diboraselenirane, 1,3-dichalcogena-2,4-diboretanes, 1,3,4-trichalcogena-2,5-diborolanes and a rare six-membered 1,2,4,5-tetrathia-3,6-diborinane. Stepwise addition reactions and solution stability studies provided insights into the mechanism of these reactions and the subtle differences in reactivity observed between I and II.

Abstract
A triaminotriborane(3) was isolated as purple crystals through the reduction of (TMP)BCl2 (TMP=2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidino) by sodium naphthalenide. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction and computational studies of the obtained triaminotriborane(3) revealed a bent structure of the [B(NR2 )]3 chain. The bond lengths between the central and terminal boron atoms were similar to those observed in neutral diborene species. The multiple-bonding character may be best described by a three-center two-electron π-bond along the B3 chain. The distance between the two terminal boron atoms (2.177 Å) in the solid-state structure implies a weak interaction between them. When an excess amount of Li was used as the reducing agent, the reaction yielded an unusual dianionic species. The isolation and characterization of these two reduction products are reported herein.

Abstract
The reaction of [(cAACMe)BH3] (cAACMe = 1-(2,6-iPr2C6H3)-3,3,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidin-2-ylidene) with a range of organolithium compounds led to the exclusive formation of the corresponding (dihydro)organoborates, Li+[(cAACMeH)BH2R]- (R = sp3-, sp2-, or sp-hybridised organic substituent), by migration of one boron-bound hydrogen atom to the adjacent carbene carbon of the cAAC ligand. A subsequent deprotonation/salt metathesis reaction with Me3SiCl or spontaneous LiH elimination yielded the neutral cAAC-supported mono(organo)boranes, [(cAACMe)BH2R]. Similarly the reaction of [(cAACMe)BH3] with a neutral donor base L resulted in adduct formation by shuttling one boron-bound hydrogen to the cAAC ligand, to generate [(cAACMeH)BH2L], either irreversibly (L = cAACMe) or reversibly (L = pyridine). Variable-temperature NMR data and DFT calculations on [(cAACMeH)BH2(cAACMe)] show that the hydrogen on the former carbene carbon atom exchanges rapidly with the boron-bound hydrides.
