Boratabenzene

Boratabenzene is the heteroaromatic anion with the formula [C₅H₅BH]⁻. Derivatives of boratabenzene are ligands akin to cyclopentadienyl anion. sandwich or half-sandwich type complexes of many transition metals have been reported.[2][3] 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.
