Not so different! Hydrocarbons and borohydrides have a common root regulated by the number of valence electrons in a confined space. In their Full Paper on page 4169 ff. , M. Solà, F. Teixidor et al. show how the connection between B and C chemistries can aid in the rational design of a certain number of interesting boron‐containing molecules and materials. Their results will be also be useful to rationalize the molecular structure of novel compounds that containing boronboron and boronhydrogen bonds.
