borazoles
Borazoles are a class of heterocyclic inorganic compounds with the general formula (BN)nHn. They are isoelectronic with benzene and are often referred to as "inorganic benzene" due to their structural similarity. The simplest borazole is borazine, which has the formula B3N3H6. The borazole ring is aromatic, meaning it possesses a delocalized pi electron system. This aromaticity contributes to their relative stability.
Borazoles can be synthesized through various methods, often involving the reaction of boron and nitrogen containing
The properties of borazoles are influenced by the electronegativity difference between boron and nitrogen. This leads
Applications for borazoles are being explored in areas such as materials science, including the development of
