They present the results in the journal Nature Synthesis. In the novel molecule, the boron atom is in a linear arrangement with carbon atoms. "In combination with the triple bond, this is about as ...

Researchers have synthesised a triple bond between carbon and boron for the first time. This discovery could help chemists ...

They present the results in the journal Nature Synthesis. Boron Atom in an Uncomfortable Situation In the novel molecule, the boron atom is in a linear arrangement with carbon atoms.

The arrangement of small molecules—known as ligands—around transition metal atoms affects how the metal atoms behave. This is important because transition metals are used as catalysts in the synthesis ...

spectroscopic analysis confirmed this unusual electronic structure in this new complex. The new nickel-boron interaction was found to have both covalent and dative bonding characteristics.
