Borazine
March 9, 2009
Borazine, or s-triazaborane, is an inorganic compound isoelectronic with benzene that exhibits some aromatic character. It was first described in 1926 by Alfred Stock and Erich Pohland in their ninth paper in a series on boron–hydrogen compounds. Borazine may be useful in hydrogen storage applications. An aromatic benzene–borazine hybrid was recently reported; see Noteworthy Chemistry for February 23.
