A reagent containing this element has two atoms of it flanked by two cyclooctadine rings, and a class of reducing agents incorporating it have it bonded to 3 sec-butyl groups with a lithium counterion.
An alloy of iron, neodymium and this element forms a tetrahedral structure in strongest permanent magnet known. A reagent containing this element has two atoms of it flanked by two cyclooctadine rings, and a class of reducing agents incorporating it have it bonded to 3 sec-butyl groups with a lithium counterion. Besides 9-BBN and the selectrides, this atom is also bonded to four hydride atoms with a sodium counterion in a gentler alternative to lithium aluminum hydride. One class of derivatives of this element are given prefixes like closo- and arachno-; many of those compounds dimerize via three-center two-electron bonds to satisfy the octet rule. A common anti-Markovnikov reaction uses this element, which has isotopes of atomic weight 10 and 11. For 10 points, name this element with atomic number five.
