In the majority of known azaboranes N a B b H c 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 ‐NB 9 H 10 , nido ‐NB 10 H 13 , and closo ‐NB 11 H 12 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.
