Catalytic dehalogenation with activated borane, a porous borane cluster polymer

Activated borane (ActB) is a metal- and halogen-free porous borane cluster polymer that effectively serves as a heterogeneous catalyst for hydrodehalogenation of aliphatic fluorides and chlorides, using triethylsilane as a reductant. It demonstrates high thermal stability, reusability, and significant Lewis acidity, making it capable of achieving full dehalogenation with high turnover numbers, even after multiple […]

A Direct Route to closo-SBnCln Thiaboranes: Chalcogen Bonding in SB5Cl5 vs. SB11Cl11 Crystals

Polyhedral boron chemistry exhibits various heteroatom substitution and a series of  heteroboranes thus being afforded Furthermore, the introduction of halogens instead of terminal hydrogens  enables the synthesis of small perhalogenated heteroboranes, stabilized through π back-donation. In this research, SB5Cl5 and SB9Cl9 clusters were prepared by co-pyrolysis of B2Cl4 with S2Cl2 at 280 °C in a […]
