Abstract
In this issue of Chem, Kinjo and Feng report the synthesis of a cyclotriborate trianion (B3R63−), a highly charged boron ring system with discrete two-center two-electron bonds. With three contiguous borates, the B33− core of the feature compound defies Coulomb’s law and represents the first homocyclic boron analog of the ubiquitous cyclopropane. The remarkable stability enabled full characterization and opens new vistas in the field of multiply charged boron ions.
