Making a B line: The boryl complex trans-[(Cy3P)2Pt(Br){B(Mes)Br}] was synthesized and converted into the first two-coordinate borylene complex of platinum, trans-[(Cy3P)2Pt(Br)(BMes)]+ (see picture), in which the boron atom is linearly coordinated. The bonding situation was analyzed by theoretical calculations and structural methods. Mes=2,4,6-Me3C6H2.
