Metallaboratrane Facilitated E‒H Bond Activation and Hydrogenation Catalysis
The E‒H bond activation chemistry of <i>tris</i>-phosophino-iron and -cobalt metallaboratranes is discussed. The ferraboratrane complex (<b>TPB</b>)Fe(N<sub>2</sub>) heterolytically activates H‒H and the C‒H bonds of formaldehyde and arylacetylenes across an Fe‒B...
