  • Boron atoms in aromatic heterocycles typically behave simply as electron pair acceptors. Here, the authors report an aromatic system containing both electrophilic and nucleophilic boron atoms, and demonstrate how this imparts frustrated Lewis pair type reactivity, including binding of carbon dioxide.

  • Analogous to the hexagonal C₆ motif found in carbon materials and polyaromatic hydrocarbons, three-membered boron and aluminum rings represent the smallest fundamental building blocks in their respective clusters and materials. Here, the authors present an edge-condensation strategy of a B₃ ring to generate a cationic icosagen species.

  • The polyhedral skeletal electron pair theory (PESPT), also known as Wade-Mingos’ rules, defines a relationship between skeletal bonding electron pairs and structure of clusters. Here the authors report the synthesis, structure and computational studies of planar C2B4R4 carboranes that do not adhere to PESPT.

  • The synthesis, isolation and characterization of palladium complexes featuring one, two and three anionic aluminium ligands are reported, in which the aluminium ligands effectively stabilize the palladium in the zero-oxidation state. The aluminium–palladium bonds are highly polarized and the negatively charged palladium centre readily undergoes activation of B–B and C–N bonds.

  • Boranes are archetypal Lewis acids owing to an empty p-orbital on the boron, although Lewis basic tricoordinate boranes have been developed too. Here, the authors report an annulated 1,4,2,5-diazadiborinine derivative with boron atoms that exhibit both Lewis acidic and basic properties.

  • The Hückel rule defines that monocyclic and planar conjugated systems containing [4n + 2] π electrons are aromatic. Here, the authors highlight boron species that feature a globally 4n π system, defying the Hückel rule, but nonetheless exhibit aromaticity.
