Abstract
By the reduction reaction, a boron-center radical cation (2) stabilized by a diphosphine-substituted closo-hexaborate cluster has been synthesized and fully characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the unpaired electron in 2 predominantly resides on the tricoordinate boron center with the high spin density of 0.767.
期刊介绍:
Organometallics is the flagship journal of organometallic chemistry and records progress in one of the most active fields of science, bridging organic and inorganic chemistry. The journal publishes Articles, Communications, Reviews, and Tutorials (instructional overviews) that depict research on the synthesis, structure, bonding, chemical reactivity, and reaction mechanisms for a variety of applications, including catalyst design and catalytic processes; main-group, transition-metal, and lanthanide and actinide metal chemistry; synthetic aspects of polymer science and materials science; and bioorganometallic chemistry.
