Organometallic Complex Synthesis and Catalysis

This perspective summarizes the chemistry of boroxines and outlines progress towards incorporating these ring structures into functional materials and macromolecular architectures. Special attention is paid to the dynamic covalent chemistry of boroxine ring construction and how these processes lead to novel molecular architectures and functional materials. Also highlighted in this perspective is the rich chemistry surrounding boroxine-ligand interactions and how these interactions flavor many areas of boroxine chemistry.
