For over 60 years researchers could not capture stable boron–oxygen molecules thought too unstable to study. Professor Holger Braunschweig’s group at the University of Würzburg, with computation led by Professor Ashwini K. Phukan at Tezpur University in India, reported in Nature Chemistry a simple route to produce and isolate oxoboranes—organic molecules with a boron–oxygen triple bond—one of the last gaps among first-row p-block elements and a step toward new exotic boron compounds.
