Heterodinuclear bridged borylene complexes

J Am Chem Soc. 2005 Feb 9;127(5):1386-7. doi: 10.1021/ja0426746.

Abstract

Heterodinuclear bridged borylene complexes are synthesized via oxidative addition of the B-Br bond of bromoboryl complex precursors to an electron-rich palladium species. The synthetic protocol grants access to the first compound featuring the reactive bromoborylene ligand.
