Bimetallic M2B Boride Nanoparticles: A Robust and Recyclable Platform for Dehydration‐Driven Condensation of Aldehydes

open access: yesChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2026.
Metal borides (MBs) emerge as a versatile class of nanomaterials, featuring high stability and bifunctional Lewis‐acidic/basic active sites. Despite these properties, their applications in CN bond formation are less explored. Herein, we report the first systematic use of M2B‐type boride nanoparticles as efficient and magnetically recoverable catalysts
