Catching a plane : A new strategy for stabilizing the BC bonds in boron‐containing π‐conjugated materials has been demonstrated. Encasing the boron in a rigid, planarized environment (see scheme) has been shown by Yamaguchi and co‐workers to give air‐ and moisture‐stable organoboranes that bring the boron's p orbital into full conjugation with the organic π framework.
