Boratabenzene

Chemical compound

Structure of Rh(C₈H₁₂)(η⁶-C₅H₅BH).^[1]

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.
