Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A series of lithium salts of boryl anion, boryllithiums, were synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and crystallographic analysis. In addition to the parent boryllithium compound 35a, structural modification of boryllithium, using saturated C-C and benzannulated C=C backbones in the five-membered ring and mesityl groups on the nitrogen atoms, also allowed generation of the corresponding boryllithium. The solid state structures of boryllithium showed that the boron-lithium bond is polarized where the boron atom is anionic in all (35a•DME), 35a•(THF), 35b•(THF), and 35c•(THF) when compared to the structures of hydroborane 38a-c and optimized free boryl anion opt-46a-c. Dissolution of the isolated single crystals of (35a•DME) and 35a•(THF) in THF-d showed that the boron-lithium bond remained in solution and free DME or THF molecules were observed. Temperature-dependent B NMR chemical shift changes of 35a were observed in THF-d or methylcyclohexane-d, suggesting a change of chemical shift anisotropy around the boron center. The HOMO of opt-35a•(THF) had a lone pair character on the boron atom, as observed for phenyllithium, whereas the HOMO of hydroborane 38a corresponds to the π-orbital of the boron-containing five-membered heterocycle. The polarity of the B-Li bond, estimated by AIM analysis, was similar to that of alkyllithium. Boryllithiums 35a and 35b behave as a base or a boron nucleophile in reaction with organic electrophiles via deprotonation, S2-type substitution, halogen-metal exchange or electron-transfer, 1,2-addition to a carbonyl group, and SAr reaction. In the case of the reaction with CO, intramolecular cyclization followed by CO elimination from borylcarboxylate anion and subsequent protonation gave hydroxyboranes 64a and 64b. The characters of the carbonyl groups in the borylcarbonyl compounds 60a, 60b, 61, 62, and 63a, which were obtained from the reaction of boryllithiums 35a and 35b, were investigated by X-ray crystallography, IR, and C NMR spectroscopy to show that the boryl substituent weakened the C=O bond when compared to carbon substituted analogues. © 2008 American Chemical Society.
