Boratabenzene Explained
Boratabenzene is the heteroaromatic anion with the formula [C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>5</sub>BH]−. Derivatives of boratabenzene are ligands akin to cyclopentadienyl anion. sandwich or half-sandwich type complexes of many transition metals have been reported.[1] [2] Electronically related heterocycles are adducts of borabenzene. The adduct C5H5B·pyridine exhibits properties of boratabenzene anion, i.e., it has the character C5H5B−-N+C5H5.
