Molecules of the compound [(thf)3Li(p-H)3BC(SiMe2Ph)3], (thf = tetrahydrofuran) made by reduction of difluoro-{tris(dimethylphenylsilyl)methyl} boron with LiAIH4, have been shown by X-ray crystallography to have almost C3 symmetry, with tridentate bridges between alkyltrihydroborate and lithium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
