No BO problem! Low‐coordinate boron centers can be stabilized by using late transition metals, for example a platinum bisphosphine fragment. [Pt(PCy 3 ) 2 ] reacts with Br 2 BOSiMe 3 to give trans ‐[(PCy 3 ) 2 PtBr(BO)], which contains an unprecedented thermally stable BO bond (see picture, Cy= cyclohexyl).
