Silane Redistribution Catalyzed by [Mes-B-TMP] + Borinium Ion

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: plays a pivotal role in modulating the Lewis acidity of the boron center, enabling reversible Si-H activation while preventing irreversible B-C bond cleavage and catalyst decomposition. These findings highlight the potential of electronically tuned borinium ions as catalysts for activating inert substrates in organic transformations.
