Abstract

Unsymmetrical B(MIDA)-containing diborons of potential synthetic utility were found to be synthesized from the readily available (neop)B-B(neop) and (HO)₂B-B(OH)₂, and the procedure was extended to the generation of symmetrical (MIDA)B-B(MIDA). NMR and X-ray crystal structure studies revealed that B(MIDA) units of all of the diborons obtained in this study were in rigid tetrahedral environment.
