Here, the addition of H─H, Be─Be, B─B, and B─H bonds to Sn is studied by experimental and theoretical means. We report the first examples of B─B and Be─Be bond additions to a main group metal centre, along with the first example of borazine B─H bond addition to any element of the Periodic Table. Quantum chemical calculations suggest that the classification of these reactions as prototypical "oxidative" addition processes may be misleading and that a more nuanced description is warranted.
在此,通过实验和理论方法研究了H─H、Be─Be、B─B和B─H键与Sn的加成反应。我们报道了首例B─B和Be─Be键加成到主族金属中心的实例,以及首例硼嗪B─H键加成到元素周期表中任何元素的实例。量子化学计算表明,将这些反应归类为典型的“氧化”加成过程可能会产生误导,需要更细致入微的描述。
