Of boron, silicon and phosphorus analogues

Organometallic Complexes of Boron, Silicon, and Phosphorus Analogues of Azoles... 

In the previous chapter we described the special chemistry of sulfur, and you have previously met that of phosphorus. These two elements may be thought of as analogues of oxygen and nitrogen but many reactions are possible with S and P that are quite impossible with O and N. This chapter will concentrate on the organic chemistry of three other main group elements boron, which is unusual in this context because it is a first row element, and silicon and tin, which are in the same group as...
