Summary

In a new publication in the journal Nature Chemistry , chemists in professor Holger Braunschweig's team at the University of Würzburg, supported by computational work from the team of professor Ashwini K. Phukan at Tezpur University in India, detail their discovery of a method for preparing and isolating a range of surprisingly stable oxoboranes—a challenge that has stood for over 60 years. The element boron does not like to form triple bonds—this challenge has motivated Würzburg chemist Braunschweig to make molecules with boron-containing triple bonds for over 15 years.
