Taming the Lewis Superacidity of Non-Planar Boranes: C?H Bond Activation and Non-Classical Binding Modes at Boron

The rational design of a geometrically constrained boron Lewis superacid featuring exceptional structure and reactivity is disclosed. It enabled the formation of non-classical electron deficient B?H?B type of bonding, which was supported by spectroscopic and structural parameters as well as computational studies. Taming the pyramidal Lewis acid electrophilicity through weak coordinating anion dissociation enabled a series of highly challenging chemical transformations, such as Csp2?H and Csp3?H activation under a frustrated Lewis pair regime and the cleavage of Csp3?Si bonds. The demonstration of such rich chemical behaviour and flexibility on a single molecular compound makes it a unique mediator of chemical transformations generally restricted to transition metals.
