Reversible sigma-borane-to-borylene transformation: a little something for everyone.
A reaction with many facets: The facile dehydrogenative synthesis of a borylene complex (left in scheme) from a dihydroborane (right), proceeds reversibly at room-temperature. The implications of this reaction for the fields of inorganic, main-group, and hydrogen-storage chemistry are covered in this Highlight.
