Ligand-Induced Tuning of the Electronic Structure of Rhombus Tetraboron Cluster. Chemphyschem 2022; 23:e202200060.

Abstract
A neutral boron carbonyl complex B4 (CO)3 is generated in the gas phase and is characterized by infrared plus vacuum ultraviolet (IR+VUV) two-color ionization spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. The complex is identified to have a planar C2v structure with three CO ligands terminally coordinated to a rhombus B4 core. It has a closed-shell singlet ground state that correlates to an excited state of B4 . Bonding analyses on B4 (CO)3 as well as the previously reported B4 and B4 (CO)2 indicate that the electronic structure of rhombus tetraboron cluster changes from a close-shell singlet to an open-shell singlet in B4 (CO)2 and to a close-shell singlet in B4 (CO)3 , demonstrating that the electronic structures of boron clusters can be effectively tuned via sequential CO ligand coordination.

Abstract
The boron atoms react with carbon monoxide and dinitrogen forming the end-on bonded NNBCO complex in solid neon or in nitrogen matrices. The NNBCO complex rearranges to the (η2 -N2 )BCO isomer with a more activated side-on bonded dinitrogen ligand upon visible light excitation. (η2 -N2 )BCO and its weakly CO-coordinated complexes further isomerize to the NBNCO and B(NCO)2 molecules with N-N bond being completely cleaved under UV light irradiation. The geometries, energies and vibrational spectra of the molecules are calculated with quantum chemical methods and the electronic structures are analyzed with charge- and energy-partitioning methods.

Abstract
Hydride abstraction from the heterocyclic carbene borane adducts (NHC)BH2 C6 F5 (NHC: IMes or IMe4 ) gave the B-H containing [(NHC)B(H)C6 F5 ]+ borenium cations. They added carbon monoxide to give the respective [(NHC)B(H)(C6 F5 )CO]+ boron carbonyl cations. Carbon nucleophiles add to the boron carbonyl to give [B](H) acyls. Hydride reduced the [B]CO cation to hydroxymethylborane derivatives.
