Suzuki coupling requires a palladium metal catalyst and this element to carry an alkyl group for formation of a carbon-carbon
Suzuki coupling requires a palladium metal catalyst and this element to carry an alkyl group for formation of a carbon-carbon bond.  In the highly reactive compounds it forms with hydrogen, it adopts structures according to Wade's rules; these bonds were described by Longuet-Higgins.  Addition across a carbon-carbon double bond and reaction with basic hydrogen peroxide results in the formation of an anti-Markovnikov product when an alkene is reacted with one of its hydrides.  Its nitrides are isoelectronic with carbon; the cubic-bonded form has nearly the hardness of diamond.  FTP, name this element whose hydrides are often described as having three-center two-electron bonds, notable for forming Lewis acidic compounds since it has only three valence electrons, which has atomic number 5 and symbol B.
