The marriage of fire and water : The strongly oxidizing trinitromethyl and strongly reducing BH 3 groups were successfully combined for the first time in the novel [BH 3 C(NO 2 ) 3 ] − ion. The stability at room temperature of the new (trinitromethyl)borate is in sharp contrast to the behavior of [BCl 3 C(NO 2 ) 3 ] − , which already decomposes at −20 °C.
