Abstract

Boron brings nitrogen together Whereas carbon is prone to making chains, nitrogen usually sticks to itself just once in the particularly stable form of N 2 . Légaré et al. now show that boron can coax two N 2 molecules together under reductive conditions below room temperature. Two borylene units sandwiched the resulting N 4 chain between them.
