From Carbene-Dithiolene Zwitterion Mediated B-H Bond Activation to BH3·SMe2-Assisted Boron-Boron Bond Formation
{{output}}
The 1:1 reaction of the carbene-stabilized dithiolene zwitterion 1 with BH3·SMe2 gave the dithiolene-based hydroborane 2 and the doubly hydrogen-capped CAAC species 3 via hydride-coupled reverse electron transfer processes. The mechanism of this transformatio... ...
