Abstract:
The title compound, potassium cadmium metaborate, crystallizes in a monoclinic cell, featuring infinite one-dimensional CdO(5) chains and trigonal planar B atoms in hexagonal B(3)O(6) metaborate ions. The trigonal bipyramidal CdO(5) chains and metaborate ions are interlinked to form a three-dimensional framework, creating channels running parallel to the [101] direction in which the potassium ions reside.

Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn stereochemistry.
