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 ...

Dewhurst explains that in this newly synthesized molecule, the boron atom is arranged linearly with ... s reactivity and how its unique bonding structure influences its chemical behavior.

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.

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. 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 ...
