Area of Research
- Rearrangements in boron chemistry, e.g.
R2B-N3 ® RBºNR + N2
R2B-CH2-CX=O ® CH2=CX-O-BR2 - Two-coordinate boron in the unsaturated species XB=BX, XB=CR2, XBºNR, XBºO
- Chemistry of the iminoboranes RBºNR', analogues of alkynes RCºCR': oligomerization, polymerization, cycloaddition with 1,2- and 1,3-unsaturated systems, reactions with transition metal complexes
- Formation and interconversion of iminoborane oligomers (RBNR')n which are analogues of cyclobutadiene (n=2), benzene (n=3), Dewar benzene (n=3), cyclooctatetraene (n=4)
- Azadiboriridines NB2R3: three-membered rings with a basic B-B bond
- Azaboranes NaBbHc and their derivatives: borane clusters with N atoms in the skeleton; in particular six-coordinate nitrogen in the isosahedral frameworks of NB11H12
- Chemistry of tetraboranes, which are derived from B4H4, B4H6, B4H8, and B4H10
- Chemistry of undecaborates B11H112-und their derivatives
