A 60-year search is over: Chemists isolate long-elusive molecules with boron-oxygen triple bonds
In a new publication in the journal Nature Chemistry, chemists in professor Holger Braunschweig's team at the University of Würzburg, supported by computational work from the team of professor Ashwini K. Phukan at Tezpur University in India, detail their discovery of a method for preparing and isolating a range of surprisingly stable oxoboranes—a challenge that has stood for over 60 years.
