Notes:
In the majority of known azaboranes NaBbHc and their derivatives, the coordination number of the nitrogen atoms within the cluster does not exceed the classical values of 3 or 4. In the azaboranes closo-NB9H10, nido-NB10H13, and closo-NB11H12 and in their derivatives, however, the nitrogen atoms are 5- or 6-coordinate and thus represent a novel bonding situation. The synthesis, structure, and reactivity of these azaboranes are reviewed in this article.
