Abstract
A cyclic alkyl(amino)carbene (CAAC)-stabilized 1,4-diborabenzene (DBB, 1) reacts with the group 10 precursor [Ni(CO)4] to yield the DBB pogo-stick complex [(η6-DBB)Ni(CO)] (2) as a dark-green crystalline solid. The IR-spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic data of 2 highlight the strong π-donor properties of the DBB ligand. The reaction of 1 with [M(nbe)2] (M = Pd, Pt; nbe = norbornene) yields the unique zerovalent heavier group 10 arene pogo-stick complexes [(η6-DBB)M(nbe)] (3-M), isolated as dark-purple and black crystalline solids, respectively. 3-Pd and 3-Pt show strong near-IR (NIR) absorptions at 835 and 904 nm, respectively. Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations show that these result from the S0→S1 excitation, which corresponds to a transfer of electron density from a metal d orbital aligned with the z direction (dxz or dyz) to a d orbital located in the xy plane (dxy or dx2-y2), with the redshift for 3-Pt resulting from the higher spin-orbit coupling (SOC). In complex 2, electron donation from the nickel center into the carbonyl 2π* orbital destabilizes the DBB···Ni interaction, resulting in an absorption at a higher energy. Complexes 2 and 3-M react with [Fe(CO)5] to yield the doubly CO-bridged M(0)→Fe(0) (M = Ni, Pd, Pt) metal-only Lewis pairs (MOLPs) 4-M as black (M = Ni, Pt) and dark-turquoise (M = Pd) crystalline solids. Furthermore, 3-Pt undergoes oxidative Sn-H addition with Ph3SnH to yield the corresponding Pt(II) stannyl hydride, [(η6-DBB)PtH(SnPh3)] (5).

Abstract
Haloazaphosphatranes are the halogenated parents of proazaphosphatranes, also known as Verkade's superbase. While the synthesis of iodo-, bromo- and chloroazaphosphatranes was reported more than thirty years ago by J. G. Verkade, the first synthesis of fluoroazaphosphatranes was only described in 2018 by Stephan et al. Currently, no common and versatile procedure exists to access fluoroazaphosphatranes platform with different structural characteristics. In this report, a new and simple synthesis of this class of compounds was developed based on the nucleophilic attack of the fluoride anion on chloroazaphosphatrane derivatives with good to high isolated yields for the corresponding fluoroazaphosphatranes (70-92%). The scope of the reaction was widened to fluoroazaphosphatranes bearing various substituents and X-ray molecular structures of two of them are reported. The stability of fluoroazaphosphatranes toward nucleophilic solvents like water has been investigated. As they revealed much more robust cations than their chloroazaphosphatrane parents, their chloride salts were tested as organocatalysts for the formation of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and CO2 . Fluoroazaphosphatranes proved to be both efficient and stable catalytic systems for CO2 conversion with catalytic activities similar to those of azaphosphatranes, and no decomposition of the cation was observed at the end of reaction.

Abstract
Chloroazaphosphatranes, the corresponding halogenophosphonium cations of the Verkade superbases, were evaluated as a new motif for halogen bonding (XB). Their modulable synthesis allowed for synthetizing chloroazaphosphatranes with various substituents on the nitrogen atoms. The binding constants determined from NMR titration experiments for Cl-, Br-, I-, AcO-, and CN- anions are comparable to those obtained with conventional iodine-based monodentate XB receptors. Remarkably, the protonated azaphosphatrane counterparts display no affinity for anions under the same conditions. The strength of the XB interaction is, to some extent, related to the basicity of the corresponding Verkade superbase. The halogen bonding abilities of this new class of halogen donor motif were also revealed by the Δδ(31P) NMR shift observed in CD2Cl2 solution in the presence of triethylphosphine oxide (TEPO). Thus, chloroazaphosphatranes constitute a new class of halogen bond donors, expanding the repertory of XB motifs mainly based on CAr-I bonds.
