Abstract
MeNHC substituted germaborenium cation 2 was synthesized directly in reaction of bromo-substituted germaborene 1b with MeNHC. The adamantyl isonitrile substituted germaborenium cation 4 was obtained stepwise: substitution of the chloride atom against adamantyl isonitrile at the B-Cl unit in 1a, simultaneous migration of the chloride to the germanium atom followed by chloride abstraction using Na[BArF 4] gives the germaborenium cation 4. Substitution of the bromide atom in 1b against carbon monoxide followed by bromide abstraction using Ag[Al(OtBuF)4] leads to compound 6 exhibiting a B[double bond, length as m-dash]C double bond substituted at the boron atom by a germylium cation. Treating the germaborene [Ge[double bond, length as m-dash]B-Ph] (1c) with selenium, a cycloaddition product 7 was characterised featuring a GeBSe heterocycle. Carbon dioxide reacts with 1b to give a four membered ring molecule 8 as the product of a B-C and Ge-O bond formation. In reaction of 1b with dimethylbutadiene, a product 9 of a [2 + 4] cycloaddition was isolated. Transition metal fragments [Fe(CO)4 (10), CuBr (11), AuCl (12)] show coordination at the germaborene double bond. Molecular structures of the germaborene coordination compounds 10-12 are presented and the ligand properties are discussed. After treating the germaborene [Ge[double bond, length as m-dash]B-Br] (1b) with [Cp*Al]4, insertion of a Cp*Al moiety into the B-Br bond was found (13).

Abstract
While R2 C=N-R double bonds in organic imines are well established, the related iminoboranes R-B=N-R are either prone to oligomerization or can only be stabilized at sufficient steric congestion. In particular, the examples of unsubstituted parent B=N-H entity are rare. We demonstrate that the amino imidazoline-2-imine ligand system (HAmIm) not only gives rise to the isolation of a parent (AmIm)B=N-H iminoborane, but also to species of type (AmIm)B=N-SiMe3 with concomitant stabilization by lithium bromide. The double bond character in these systems is unambiguously corroborated by DFT calculations. The steric accessibility of the (AmIm)B=NH unit allows facile reactivity including metathesis reactions with C=O and C=S bonds, nucleophilic addition toward organic and organometallic carbonyl compounds, but also oxidative N-N coupling within a dimeric unit. Thus, the chemical behavior of the (AmIm)B=N-H and (AmIm)B=N-SiMe3 is distinctly different from that of organic imines.

Abstract
Despite recent advancements in the chemistry of multiply bound boron compounds, the laboratory isolation of the parent oxoborane moiety, HBO has long remained an unsolved and well-recognized challenge. The reaction of 6-SIDipp·BH3 [6-SIDipp = 1,3-di(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)tetrahydropyrimidine-2-ylidene] with GaCl3 afforded an unusual boron-gallium 3c-2e compound (1). The addition of water to 1 resulted in the release of H2 and the formation of a rare acid stabilized neutral parent oxoborane, LB(H)[double bond, length as m-dash]O (2). Crystallographic and density functional theory (DFT) analyses support the presence of a terminal B[double bond, length as m-dash]O double bond. Subsequent addition of another equivalent of water molecule led to hydrolysis of the B-H bond to the B-OH bond, but the 'B[double bond, length as m-dash]O' moiety remained intact, resulting in the formation of the hydroxy oxoborane compound (3), which can be classified as a monomeric form of metaboric acid.

Abstract
Stabilizing the exotic chemical species possessing multiple bonds is often extremely challenging due to insufficient orbital overlap, especially involving one heavier element. Bulky aryl groups and/or carbene as ligand have previously stabilized the SiSi, GeGe, and BB triple bonds. Herein, theoretical calculations have been carried out to shed light on the stability and bonding of elusive silaboryne/germaboryne (Si/GeB triple bond) stabilized by donor base ligands ((cAAC)BE(Me)(L); E = Si, L = cAACMe , NHCMe , PMe3 ; E = Ge, L = cAACMe ). The heavier analogues (Sn, Pb) have been further studied for comparison. Additionally, the effects of bulky substituents at the Si and N atoms on the structural parameters and stability of those species have been investigated. Energy decomposition analysis coupled with natural orbital for chemical valence (EDA-NOCV; for Si) showed that cAAC/NHC ligands could stabilize the exotic BSi-Me species more efficiently than PMe3 ligands. The BSi partial triple bond of the corresponding species possesses a mixture of one covalent electron sharing BSi σ-bond and two dative π-bonds (B ← Si, B → Si).

Abstract
Base-stabilized neutral oxoborane and thioxoborane supported by a bis(oxazolinyl)(phenyl)methanide ligand have been synthesized and structurally characterized. While previous synthetic attempts of oxoborane ligated by β-diketiminate (NacNac) did not allow for its isolation in acid-free form, oxoborane supported by a bis(oxazolinyl)(phenyl)methanide ligand is isolable, due to the absence of imine ɑ-protons and steric protection of enamine carbon. Crystallographic analysis revealed the presence of a B-O double bond close to the shortest end of the reported lengths. Its reactivity has also been examined, and it was majorly governed by the nucleophilicity and basicity of the oxygen atom. The chemical inertness and synthetic convenience of the bis(oxazolinyl)(phenyl)methanide scaffold presented in this work suggest its utility as an innocent alternative to the NacNac scaffold.

Abstract
Anionic oxoboranes and neutral iminoboranes, which are isoelectronic to ketones and alkynes, respectively, have attracted much attention because of their unique structures and various reactivity. However, acid/base-free oxoboranes and iminoboranes are still limited, and readily accessible examples with diverse electronic and steric characteristics are highly desirable. Herein, we report the first syntheses of the acyclic anionic oxoborane 2 and iminoborane 4 bearing two boryl ligands, both of which are acid/base-free. Spectroscopic analysis, X-ray crystallography, and theoretical calculations reveal that 2 and 4 possess a polarized terminal B═O double bond and central B≡N triple bond, respectively.

Abstract
![]()
The unconventional
carbon dioxide insertion reaction of a gold-aluminyl
[tBu3PAuAl(NON)] complex has been recently shown
to be related to the electron-sharing character of the Au–Al
bond that acts as a nucleophile and stabilizes the insertion product
through a radical-like behavior. Since a gold-diarylboryl [IPrAuB(o-tol)2] complex with similar reactivity features
has been recently reported, in this work we computationally investigate
the reaction of carbon dioxide with [LAuX] (L = phosphine, N-heterocyclic
carbene (NHC); X = Al(NON), B(o-tol)2)
complexes to get insights into the Al/B anionic and gold ancillary
ligand effects on the Au–Al/B bond nature, electronic structure,
and reactivity of these compounds. We demonstrate that the Au–Al
and Au–B bonds possess a similar electron-sharing nature, with
diarylboryl complexes displaying a slightly more polarized bond as
Au(δ+)–B(δ–). This
feature reduces the radical-like reactivity toward CO2,
and the Al/B anionic ligand effect is found to favor aluminyls over
boryls, despite the greater oxophilicity of B. Remarkably, the ancillary
ligand of gold has a negligible electronic trans effect on the Au–X
bond and only a minor impact on the formation of the insertion product,
which is slightly more stable with carbene ligands. Surprisingly,
we find that the modification of the steric hindrance at the carbene
site may exert a sizable control over the reaction, with more sterically
hindered ligands thermodynamically disfavoring the formation of the
CO2 insertion product. The Au−Al and Au−B
bonds have both an electron-sharing
nature, with the diarylboryl gold complexes displaying a more polarized
Auδ+−Bδ− bond. The
gold ligand (phosphine or N-heterocyclic carbene) has a negligible
electronic effect on the Au−X bond, consistently with a radical-like
reactivity of the complexes with carbon dioxide, which favors the
gold-aluminyl over the gold-diarylboryl complexes.

Abstract
An efficient synthesis of an acid-free neutral oxoborane of the type carboranyl-B(carbene)=O has been developed via a serendipitous discovery from the reaction of 1,2-[BBr(carbene)]-o-carborane with AgOTf. This represents a new type of oxoborane. The stabilization of this oxoborane may be attributed to 1) kinetic stabilization provided by a bulky 3D carboranyl ligand and 2) thermodynamic stabilization offered by a carbene ligand. Crystallographic analyses support the presence of the shortest terminal B=O double bond ever reported thus far. Its reactivity has also been examined.

Abstract
Main group carbonyl analogues (R2 E=O) derived from p-block elements (E=groups 13 to 15) have long been considered as elusive species. Previously, employment of chemical tricks such as acid- and base-stabilization protocols granted access to these transient species in their masked forms. However, electronic and steric effects inevitably perturb their chemical reactivity and distinguish them from classical carbonyl compounds. A new era was marked by the recent isolation of acid-base free main group carbonyl analogues, ranging from a lighter boracarbonyl to the heavier silacarbonyls, phosphacarbonyls and a germacarbonyl. Most importantly, their unperturbed nature elicits exciting new chemistry, spanning the vista from classical organic carbonyl-type reactions to transition metal-like oxide ion transfer chemistry. In this Review, we survey the strategies used for the isolation of such systems and document their emerging reactivity profiles, with a view to providing fundamental comparisons both with carbon and transition metal oxo species. This highlights the emerging opportunities for exciting "crossover" reactivity offered by these derivatives of the p-block elements.

Abstract
Boron reluctantly forms B=X (X=O, S, Se, Te) moieties, which has stimulated the quest for such species in the past few years. Based on the N,N'-chelating β-diketiminato ligand (HNacNac), a new amido imidazoline-2-imine ligand system (HAmIm) is presented, giving rise to the isolation of an exhaustive series of Lewis acid free, monomeric chalcogen B=X boranes with documented π-bond character between boron and the chalcogen. The chalcogenoboranes are isoelectronic and isolobal to the respective ketones. The chemical behavior of the oxoborane (B=O) strongly resembles the classical carbonyl reactivity in C=O bonds. The improved stability provided by HAmIm arises from the formation of more-stable five-membered boron chelates versus the six-membered NacNac analogues and from the imidazoline-2-imine moiety providing enhanced σ- and π-donation. The HAmIm ligand class may supersede the widely employed NacNac system in certain applications.

Abstract
Insertion of sulfur into the B-H bond of the BH borenium salt [IMes(C6F5)BH]+ followed by deprotonation gave the thioxoborane IMes(C6F5)B═S. Subsequent treatment with additional sulfur gave the corresponding boron persulfide, a NHC-stabilized boradithiirane. The B═S compound reacted with carbon dioxide in the presence of the lithium salt Li[B(C6F5)4] by formal [2+2] cycloaddition to give a boron thiocarbonate-type product. The boron persulfide formally inserted phenyl acetylene into the B-S bond in the presence of Li[B(C6F5)4] to give the respective five-membered heterocycle.

Abstract
Phosphine-stabilized germaborenes featuring an unprecedented Ge=B double bond with short B⋅⋅⋅Ge contacts of 1.886(2) (4) and 1.895(3) Å (5) were synthesized starting from an intramolecular germylene-phosphine Lewis pair (1). After oxidative addition of boron trihalides BX3 (X=Cl, Br), the addition products were reduced with magnesium and catalytic amounts of anthracene to give the borylene derivatives in yields of 78 % (4) and 57 % (5). These halide-substituted germaborenes were characterized by single-crystal structure analysis, and the electronic structures were studied by quantum-chemical calculations. According to an NBO NRT analysis, the dominating Lewis structure contains a Ge=B double bond. The germaborenes undergo a reversible, photochemically initiated [2+2] cycloaddition with the phenyl moiety of a terphenyl substituent at room temperature, forming a complex heterocyclic structure with GeIV in a strongly distorted coordination environment.

Abstract
The reactivity of a bulky m-terphenylboronic acid, DmpB(OH)2 [1; Dmp = 2,6-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)phenyl], toward three different N-heterocyclic carbenes has been examined. The reaction of 1 with 1 equiv of bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene (IPr) leads to the formation of a hydrogen-bonded carbene boronic acid adduct, 2, featuring strong O-H···C contacts. In contrast, more basic 1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene (IPr2Me2) and 1,3-di-tert-butylimidazol-2-ylidene (ItBu) deprotonate 1 smoothly to afford the rare anionic boranuidacarboxylic acids 3 and 4, respectively. Structural determination reveals that 3 and 4 bear unprecedented bifurcated hydrogen bonds with a BO- unit as a double hydrogen-bond acceptor, which contribute significantly to stabilization of the highly reactive B═O double bond. Quantum-mechanical calculations were conducted to disclose the unique electronic properties of the multiple bonds, as well as the important hydrogen bonds in these compounds.

Abstract
Boron compounds (1-4) containing an internal B-O bond have been found to undergo facile multistructural transformations upon irradiation at 365 or 410 nm, generating rare 8-membered B,O-heterocycles (1c-4c). In addition, 2 and 3 also undergo an intramolecular Diels-Alder addition and oxyborane elimination concomitantly, via intermediates 2b/3b, producing 2d/3d. The pathways to isomer c and product d were found to be a thermal process and a photo process, respectively.

Abstract
We disclose the synthesis and structural characterization of the first acid-free anionic oxoborane, [K(2.2.2-crypt)][(HCDippN)2BO] (1) (Dipp = 2,6- iPr2C6H3), which is isoelectronic with classical carbonyl compounds. 1 can readily be accessed from its borinic acid by a simple deprotonation/sequestration sequence. Crystallographic and density functional theory (DFT) analyses support the presence of a polarized terminal B═O double bond. Subsequent π bond metathesis converts the B═O bond to a heavier B═S containing system, affording the first anionic thioxoborane [K(2.2.2-crypt)][(HCDippN)2BS] (2), isoelectronic with thiocarbonyls. Facile B═O bond cleavage can also be achieved to access B-H and B-Cl bonds and, via a remarkable oxide (O2-) ion abstraction, to generate a borenium cation [(HCDippN)2B(NC5H5)][OTf] (4). By extension, 1 can act as an oxide transfer agent to organic substrates, a synthetic role traditionally associated with transition-metal compounds. Hence we show that B-O linkages, which are often considered to be thermodynamic sinks, can be activated under mild conditions toward bond cleavage and transfer, by exploiting the higher reactivity inherent in the B═O double bond.

Abstract
Germaacid chloride, germaester, and N-germaacyl pyrrole compounds were not known previously. Therefore, donor-acceptor-stabilised germaacid chloride (i-Bu)2ATIGe(O)(Cl) → B(C6F5)3 (1), germaester (i-Bu)2ATIGe(O)(OSiPh3) → B(C6F5)3 (2), and N-germaacyl pyrrole (i-Bu)2ATIGe(O)(NC4H4) → B(C6F5)3 (3) compounds, with Cl-Ge[double bond, length as m-dash]O, Ph3SiO-Ge[double bond, length as m-dash]O, and C4H4N-Ge[double bond, length as m-dash]O moieties, respectively, are reported here. Germaacid chloride 1 reacts with PhCCLi, KOt-Bu, and RLi (R = Ph, Me) to afford donor-acceptor-stabilised germaynone (i-Bu)2ATIGe(O)(CCPh) → B(C6F5)3 (4), germaester (i-Bu)2ATIGe(O)(Ot-Bu) → B(C6F5)3 (5), and germanone (i-Bu)2ATIGe(O)(R) → B(C6F5)3 (R = Ph 6, Me 7) compounds, respectively. Interconversion between a germaester and a germaacid chloride is achieved; reaction of germaesters 2 and 5 with TMSCl gave germaacid chloride 1, and 1 reacted with Ph3SiOLi and KOt-Bu to produce germaesters 2 and 5. Reaction of N-germaacyl pyrrole 3 with thiophenol produced a donor-acceptor-stabilised germaacyl thioester (i-Bu)2ATIGe(O)(SPh) → B(C6F5)3 (10). Furthermore, the attempted syntheses of germaamides and germacarboxylic acids are also discussed.

Abstract
Introduced here is a new type of strongly donating N-heterocyclic boryloxy (NHBO) ligand, [(HCDippN)2 BO]- (Dipp=2,6-diisopropylphenyl), which is isoelectronic with the well-known N-heterocyclic iminato (NHI) donor class. This 1,3,2-diazaborole functionalized oxy ligand has been used to stabilize the first acyclic two-coordinate dioxysilylene and its Ge, Sn, and Pb congeners, thereby presenting the first complete series of heavier group 14 dioxycarbene analogues. All four compounds have been characterized by X-ray crystallography and density-functional theory, enabling analysis of periodic trends: the potential for the [(HCDippN)2 BO]- ligand to subtly vary its electronic-donor capabilities is revealed by snapshots showing the gradual evolution of arene π coordination on going from Si to Pb.

Abstract
Crystalline aggregates containing metal cation clusters "wrapped" by reduced hydrocarbon anions have been presented. Initially, a dimeric complex (2) possessing a bimetallic K2O2 core was synthesized from the reaction between an anthracene substituted boronic acid (2-(anthracen-9-yl)phenyl)(hydroxy)(mesityl)borane (1-H) and KN(SiMe3)2 in THF solution. The B-O bond length (1.281(4) Å) in complex 2 is comparable to those observed in oxoboranes, indicating this may be a double bond, which is supported by its Wiberg bond order (1.9) predicted by density functional theory calculations. Subsequently, potassium aggregate complexes, diradical 3 and dihydro anion 4, were obtained through the reduction reactions of dimeric complex 2 and 1-H, respectively. They exhibit similar K3O2B2 aggregate structures, but differ significantly in the geometry of the anthracene units. Complex 3 features a triplet diradical character with planar anthracene units that carry the unpaired electrons, while the anthracene groups in complex 4 display a puckered structure due to the addition of hydrogen atoms.

Abstract
Since the discovery of the first stable N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in the beginning of the 1990s, these divalent carbon species have become a common and available class of compounds, which have found numerous applications in academic and industrial research. Their important role as two-electron donor ligands, especially in transition metal chemistry and catalysis, is difficult to overestimate. In the past decade, there has been tremendous research attention given to the chemistry of low-coordinate main group element compounds. Significant progress has been achieved in stabilization and isolation of such species as Lewis acid/base adducts with highly tunable NHC ligands. This has allowed investigation of numerous novel types of compounds with unique electronic structures and opened new opportunities in the rational design of novel organic catalysts and materials. This Review gives a general overview of this research, basic synthetic approaches, key features of NHC-main group element adducts, and might be useful for the broad research community.
