DFT Investigation of Hydrogen Atom Abstraction from NHC-Boranes by Methyl, Ethyl and Cyanomethyl Radicals—Composition and Correlation Analysis of Kinetic Barriers

Understanding the hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) reactions of <i>N</i>-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-boranes is essential for extending the practical applications of boron chemistry. In this study, density functional theory (DFT) computations were performed for the HAA reactions of a serie...
