DOI: 10.1002/ejic.202400845
Abstract: Lewis acids B(SiR3)3 and B(GeR3)3 form anomalously strong complexes with Lewis bases N2 and CO. Intramolecular B‐N/C bonds are generally in the range 1.45‐1.50 Å and shorter than the sum of B and N/C covalent radii. Bonding analyses… read more here.

Abstract: A mono-substituted Au(I) carbene was prepared by reacting HC(N2)(Dmp) (Dmp = 2,6-dimesitylphenyl) with an (o-carboranyl)-diphosphine AuNTf2 complex. It is stable up to -10 °C and was characterized by NMR spectrocopy. According to DFT calculations, the… read more here.
