Carbon bond that uses only one electron seen for first time: ‘It will be in the textbooks’

Nature, Published online: 26 September 2024; doi:10.1038/d41586-024-03138-2 The fundamental discovery deepens scientists’ understanding of chemical bonding.

Article Description

Virtually all chemical bonds consist of one or several pairs of electrons shared by two atoms. Examples of σ-bonds made of a single electron delocalized over two neighboring atoms were until recently found only in gas-phase cations such as H and Li and in highly unstable species generated in solid matrices. Only in the past decade was bona fide one-electron bonding observed for molecules in fluid solution. Here we report the isolation and structural characterization of a thermally stable compound featuring a Cu-B one-electron bond, as well as its oxidized (nonbonded) and reduced (two-electrons-bonded) congeners. This triad provides an excellent opportunity to study the degree of σ-bonding in a metalloboratrane as a function of electron count. © 2013 American Chemical Society.
