Not a natty BOH : 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.
