Modelling fundamental arene-borane contacts: spontaneous formation of a dibromoborenium cation driven by interaction between a borane Lewis acid and an arene π system.
Reaction of 2,6-dimesityl pyridine (L(py)) with BBr(3) leads to the spontaneous formation of the trigonal dibromoborenium cation [L(py)·BBr(2)](+)via bromide ejection. Systematic structural and computational studies, and the reactivity displayed by a closely related N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) dono...
