(Figure Presented) Not a natty B-OH: Borepin-based extended π-electron molecules contain bulky substituents that shield the vacant boron p orbitals and allow synthetic manipulation and purification under ambient conditions. These borepin-containing compounds (see picture; Mes* = 1,3,5-tris(tert-butyl) phenyl; B orange, C gray) display reversible cathodic electrochemistry and can be viewed as n-type analogues to bent acene hydrocarbons.
