Front Cover: Linear- and Cyclo-Hexa(amino)hexaboranes: New Routes to Synthesis of B6 Chain and B6 Ring (Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 35/2024)

Abstract

The Front Cover shows new linear and cyclo-hexaboranes. Their structures were confirmed by X-ray diffraction of single crystal analysis. The B−B bonds in the linear hexaborane are twisted, and the cyclo-hexaborane has a chair conformation similar to that of cyclohexane. These rare crystal structures of B₆ chain and B₆ ring polyboranes can be likened to valuable pieces of jewelry. More information can be found in the Research Article by A. W. Mesbah and co-workers.
