The reductive coupling of an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) stabilized (dibromo)vinylborane yields a 1,2-divinyldiborene, which, although isoelectronic to a 1,3,5-triene, displays no extended π conjugation because of twisting of the C<sub>2</sub> B<sub>2</sub> C<sub>2</sub> chain. While this divinyldiborene coordinates to copper(I) and platinum(0) in an η<sup>2</sup> -B<sub>2</sub> and η<sup>4</sup> -C<sub>2</sub> B<sub>2</sub> fashion, respectively, it undergoes a complex rearrangement to an η<su ...[more]
