In this HOT article,Cade and Hill describe the synthesis of a salt of the 1-borabenzonitrile anion as its tetrabutylammonium salt and a preliminary exploration of its coordination 新利手机客户端chemistry in which it behaves as neither a conventional nitrile nor an isonitrile.The authors present computational,spectroscopic and crystallographic evidence for the heterocycle and a ruthenium complex containing the anion as an "arene" ligand.
