 | | In similar reactions of boron with methyl chloride and methyl bromide, both CH BX and CHBX are also observed, as well as the primary insertion products, CH BCl and CH BBr, respectively. |
 | | Infrared spectra of isotopic combinations of B and CH X and density functional theory frequency calculations provide evidence for the product identification. |
 | | , CH, and CH OH, all of which are isoelectronic with CH The calculations not only predict the vibrational frequencies exceptionally well, but also predict that there is no dative bonding in either CH or CHBX, despite the empty p-orbital on B and the filled p-orbitals on the halogen atom. |
