Diboron-carbene complexes derived from a geminal dianion

The reaction of the bis(thiophosphinoyl) geminal dianion [C(PPh2S)2]2- with B2Br4(SMe2)2 in toluene afforded the diboron-carbene complex [(SPh2P)2CB]2 (2). The lability of the boron-carbene bond was found in the reaction of the sterically hindered thiophosphinoyl iminophosphoranyl geminal dianion [C...
