Organic and catalysis chemistry based on low-valent boron compounds

本研究项目取得了以下成果：(1)探索硼阴离子的化学性质，特别是与第二排p-嵌段元素形成含硼化学键，并将产物应用于有机合成。(2)尝试合成以硼为中心的自由基和低氧化态硼化合物——硼炔，并确认了光活化的硼基自由基种类。(3)含硼多齿配体过渡金属配合物的合成、性质及其在催化中的应用。

This research project has achieved the followings. (1) Exploration of chemistry of boryl anion, especially for the formation of boron-containing chemical bond with second-row p-block elements, and application of the resulting products for organic syntheses. (2) Attempt to synthesize boron-centered radical and low-oxidation state boron compound, borylene, and confirmation of photo-activated boryl radical species. (3) Syntheses and properties of transition-metal complexes bearing a boron-containing multidentate ligand and their application to catalysis.
