Abstract

The review deals with the chemistry of bimetallic systems containing boron and one of group 14 metalloids or metals attached to the aromatic nucleus. Synthetic approaches to these compounds are described. This is followed by an overview on various applications of these compounds in organic synthesis, supramolecular and material chemistry.
