The reductive coupling of an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) stabilized (dibromo)vinylborane yields a 1,2-divinyldiborene, which, although isoelectronic to a 1,3,5-triene, displays no extended π conjugation because of twisting of the C B C chain. While this divinyldiborene coordinates to copper(I) and platinum(0) in an η -B and η -C B fashion, respectively, it undergoes a complex rearrangement to an η -1,3-diborete upon complexation with nickel(0).
N-杂环卡宾(NHC)稳定的(二溴)乙烯基硼烷的还原偶联反应生成1,2-二乙烯基二硼烯,尽管其与1,3,5-三烯等电子,但由于CBC链的扭曲,不存在扩展的π共轭。虽然这种二乙烯基二硼烯分别以η-B和η-CB的方式与铜(I)和铂(0)配位,但与镍(0)络合时会发生复杂的重排,生成η-1,3-二硼环丁二烯。
