Graphical Abstract
The marriage of fire and water: The strongly oxidizing trinitromethyl and strongly reducing BH3 groups were successfully combined for the first time in the novel [BH3C(NO2)3]− ion. The stability at room temperature of the new (trinitromethyl)borate is in sharp contrast to the behavior of [BCl3C(NO2)3]−, which already decomposes at −20 °C.
