Thus, the synthetic and structural chemistry ofmetalborylcomplexeshasgrownalongwithcatalyticapplicationsinwhich metal borylcomplexes are key intermediates. Likewise, the importance of metal borane?-complexes as intermediates in many catalytic reactions has only recently been recognized [12], and thisarea is now a rapidly expanding one. | Contemporary Metal Boron Chemistry I by Todd B.
