Tetrahydroboratesとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Tetrahydroborates, [BH₄]⁻, are a class of complex hydrides containing boron and hydrogen. Tetrahydroborates are an extensively used reagent for both organic and inorganic synthesis. They have the ability to reduce carbonyls with bridging hydride ligands and form unusual covalent complexes with several transition metals. Tetrahydroborates are used as reducing agents, starting compounds for the synthesis of organometallic derivatives, precursors for the production of borides, hydrides, as well as other inorganic materials, and catalysts for hydrogenation, isomreisation, oligomerisation, and polymerisation.
