A new boron–boron dehydrocoupling strategy was established, providing convenient access to some diborane(4) compounds starting from simple borane adducts under mild conditions. In contrast to the traditional pathway using a reducing reagent, the reduction from BIII to BII was paradoxically initiated by the addition of the oxidation-reagent iodine. A reaction pathway for this unusual reaction was proposed based on quantum-chemical calculations. 相似文献
A survey of novel classes of nanotubular materials based on boron is presented. Pure boron nanotubes are a consequence of a general Aufbau principle for boron clusters and solid boron phases, which postulates various novel boron materials besides the well-known bulk phases of boron based on boron icosahedra. Furthermore, several numerical studies suggest the existence of a large family of compound nanotubular materials derived from crystalline AlB2. We compare these novel boron-based nanotubular materials to standard nanotubular systems built from carbon, and point out a number of remarkable structural and electronic properties that make boron-based nanotubular materials an ideal component for composite nanodevices and extended nanotubular networks. 相似文献
Polystyrene, cross-linked with 7.8% of divinylbenzene, formed a stable complex in chloroform with boron trifluoride containing 0.11% of boron, while cross-linked polystyrene-4-vinylpyridine resins containing 2–2.5% of pyridine rings formed a stable complex with boron trifluoride, containing 1.04% of boron. Both complexes catalyze conversions of aromatic aldehydes, ketones, and acids with alcohols into corresponding acetals, cyclic ketals, and esters; diphenylmethanol converts into ether. The structure of the alcohol plays an important role, with conversions decreasing in the order 1-butanol, 2-butanol, tert-butanol. Both complexes are very stable and in most cases more reactive than the cross-linked polystyrene-A1C13 complex. 相似文献
No explosion , but per-B-hydroxylation occurs if the icosahedral boron hydrides [closo-B12H12]2− (see picture), [closo-CB11H12]−, or closo-1,12-(CH2OH)2-1,12-C2B10H10 are refluxed in 30 % hydrogen peroxide. Thus, the three isoelectronic species [closo-B12(OH)12]2−, [closo-1-H-1-CB11(OH)11]−, and closo-1,12-H2-1,12-C2B10(OH)10 were obtained. ○=BH, ○=BOH. 相似文献

The reaction of borane(3) with 3,3′-diaminodipropylamine yields BH2B-bridge associated [3,3′-bis(dihydroborylamino)dipropylamino]dihydroborane, 1-aminopropyl-1,3,2-diazaboracyclohexane, or 1,8,10,9-triazaboradecalin (I), depending on the reaction conditions and the stoichiometry of the reactants. If tris(dimethylamino)borane is treated with 3,3′-diaminodipropylamine, only I or 1-bis-(dimethylamino)boryl-1,8,10,9-triazaboradecalin are obtained. 相似文献
Complexes of boron with ligands containing pyrrolyl motifs are surveyed. The ligands range from simple pyrrolyl groups to dipyrroles and linear terpyrroles. Macrocyclic ligands include tripyrroles, which encompass subphthalocyanines, subporphyrins, subtriazaporphyrins, and subtribenzoporphyins, the familiar tetrapyrroles porphyrin and corrole but also N-confused and -fused porphyrins, and expanded porphyrins containing up to eight pyrroles. The role of boron in these compounds depends on the nature of the ligand. Boron acts as a Lewis acid center in simple boron pyrrolyl compounds, and as a structure-directing and templating agent in the cyclic terpyrroles and some of the expanded porphyrins. The difluorboron dipyrrins are well-known as fluorescent dyes. Boron porphyrins and corroles are unusual in containing two coordinated boron atoms rather than the single coordinated atom usually occurring in these ligands, and the proximity of two boron atoms at close quarters in the ligand cavities gives rise to some unusual reaction and redox chemistry. The survey is organized by the number of pyrrole moieties occurring in the ligand and focuses on new and unique chemistry observed for the complexes. 相似文献
Whereas low‐temperature (?78 °C) reaction of the lithium dithiolene radical 1 . with boron bromide gives the dibromoboron dithiolene radical 2 ., the parallel reaction of 1 . with (C6H11)2BCl (0 °C) affords the dicyclohexylboron dithiolene radical 3 .. Radicals 2 . and 3 . were characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, UV/Vis, and EPR spectroscopy. The nature of these radicals was also probed computationally. Under mild conditions, 3 . undergoes unexpected thiourea‐mediated B?C bond activation to give zwitterion 4 , which may be regarded as an anionic dithiolene‐modified carbene complex of the sulfenyl cation RS+ (R=cyclohexyl). 相似文献
B‐hive? A family of crystalline materials analogous to porous AlPO4 but based on boron imidazolate frameworks (BIFs) can be formed by the crosslinking of various presynthesized boron imidazolates with monovalent cations (Li+ and Cu+, see picture). This synthetic method is capable of generating a large variety of open frameworks, ranging from the four‐connected zeolitic sodalite type to the three‐connected chiral (10,3)‐a type.
Porous boron carbide preforms, prepared with and without excess carbon, were infiltrated with a Cu-Si alloy. Contrary to unalloyed copper, the Cu-Si alloy wets and infiltrates the porous preforms. A thermodynamic analysis of the B-C-Cu-Si system indicated that a Si content of the alloy above 15 at% leads to the formation of SiC. At higher Si content, the composition of boron carbide in contact with the melt also changes towards higher boron content. Metallographic examination validated these conclusions. The SiC compound forms preferentially around the free carbon particles in preforms containing excess carbon, and also in the vicinity of carbide that did not contain any excess carbon. Eventually, SiC, a product of the reaction between the carbide and the melt, forms a continuous barrier that impedes completion of the reaction and accounts for the limited increase of hardness as a result of lengthy heat treatments. 相似文献
