63. A structure plot of 14 is already shown in ref 34, however, the crystal data have never been published. We have therefore performed a full X-ray crystal structure analysis of the compound.
64. We are aware of only one other compound featuring a comparable B-(μ -aryl)-B structural motif: Pilz, M.; Allwohn, J.; Massa, W.; Berndt, A. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1990, 29, 399-401
