  2. Unsatisfied with vibrational and mechanistic discrepancies between three previous investigations, we characterized the P4O potential energy surface with high-level coupled cluster methods for resolution, up to CCSD(T)/cc-pV(T+d)Z.

  4. Abstract The 1 : 2 reaction of the imidazole‐based dithiolate (2) with GeCl2 • dioxane in THF/TMEDA gives3, a TMEDA‐complexed dithiolene‐based germylene. Compound3is converted to monothiolate‐complexed (5) and N‐heterocyclic carbene‐complexed (7) germanium(II) dithiolene complexes via Lewis base ligand exchange. A bis‐dithiolene‐based germylene (8), involving a 3c–4e S‐Ge‐S bond, has also been synthesized through controlled hydrolysis of7. The bonding nature of3,5, and8was investigated by both experimental and theoretical methods.

  5. The CAAC‐stabilized dithiolene (L0) zwitterion (1), an unusual redox‐active intramolecular frustrated Lewis pair (FLP), activates the B─H bond of boranes via hydride‐coupled reverse electron transfer processes. The reactions of1with catecholborane in THF give a zwitterionic bis(dithiolene)‐based spiroborate (2), in which one sulphur atom (at the C2 carbon) bonds to the (CH2)4OB(O)2C6H4chain due to the catecholborane (CatBH)/SthioureaLewis pair‐mediated THF ring opening. In addition to2, [CAAC(H)]+[(Cat)2B], (3), CAAC(H)2, (4), and [CAAC(H)3]+[(Cat)2B], (5), are also isolated from these reactions. In addition to synthetic, structural, and spectroscopic data, a plausible reaction mechanism is proposed. This finding provides compelling experimental evidence of FLP‐mediated B─H activation via net proton transfer.
