borylenes
Borylenes are a class of chemical compounds characterized by a boron atom in a unique electronic state, formally consisting of a boron center with a valence electron configuration that resembles a neutral boron atom with an additional electron. Unlike typical boron compounds, which usually involve boron in a three-coordinate, electron-deficient state, borylenes exhibit a monovalent, highly reactive nature with a lone pair of electrons and an unpaired electron.
Borylenes can be viewed as the boron analogs of carbenes, featuring a divalent boron atom with a
These compounds are notable for their high reactivity and their ability to engage in a diverse range
Research on borylenes has advanced significantly in recent years, with notable efforts directed toward understanding their
