boron nitride
chemical compound
borazine
Borazine, also known as borazole, inorganic benzene, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula B3H6N3. In this cyclic compound, the three BH units and three NH units alternate. The compound is isoelectronic and isostructural with benzene. For this reason borazine is sometimes referred to as “inorganic benzene”. Like benzene, borazine is a colourless liquid with an aromatic odor.
Ammonia borane
chemical compound
1,2-Dihydro-1,2-azaborine
1,2-Dihydro-1,2-azaborine is an aromatic chemical compound with properties intermediate between benzene and borazine. Its chemical formula is CBNH. It resembles a benzene ring, except that two adjacent carbons are replaced by nitrogen and boron, respectively. Several other 1,2-azaborines have been synthesized.
