Abstract
Lithium and magnesium salts of tetra(o-tolyl)diborane(4) dianion, having B=B double bond character, were synthesized. It was clarified that the lithium salt of the dianion has a high-lying HOMO and a narrow HOMO-LUMO gap, which were perturbed by dissociation of Li+ cation, as judged by UV/Vis spectroscopy and DFT calculations. The lithium salt of the dianion reacted as two equivalents of a diarylboryl anion with CH2 Cl2 or S8 to give boryl-substituted products.Entities:
