Scientists from the University of Würzburg with the participation of colleagues from the University of Tezpur for the first time managed to obtain stable orodoranes - unusual compounds with a triple bond between boron and oxygen, writes Nature Chemistry. Psychologists have been working on this for years. And the discovery happened by chance when two graduate students independently mixed diboracumulene - a boron-containing compound - with ketones. Now the team of scientists is testing how widely the existing synthesis route should be applied and whether other difficult materials can be obtained.
