HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Diego Sorbelli and colleagues from the University of Groningen have published the paper: Gold-Aluminyl and Gold-Diarylboryl Complexes: Bonding and Reactivity with Carbon Dioxide, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of January/18,/2022
- what: The authors demonstrate that the Au-Al and Au-B bonds possess a similar electron-sharing nature with displaying a slightly polarized bond as Au(δ+)-B(δ-). feature reduces the radical-like reactivity toward CO2 and the Al/B anionic ligand effect is found to favor aluminyls over boryls despite the greater oxophilicity of B. Remarkably the ancillary ligand of has . . .
