Enabling and probing oxidative addition and reductive elimination at a group 14 metal center: cleavage and functionalization of E-H bonds by a bis(boryl)stannylene

By employing strongly σ-donating boryl ancillary ligands, the oxidative addition of H2 to a single site Sn(II) system has been achieved for the first time, generating (boryl)2SnH2. Similar chemistry can also be achieved for protic and hydridic E-H bonds (N-H/O-H, Si-H/B-H, respectively). In the case...
