Unusually generous donation: Matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations characterize the new boron carbonyl compound BBCO (see graphic), which has a linear triplet ground state ( 3 Π∏). The binding energy of CO and BB is quite large, due to the back bonding usually associated with transition metal carbonyl complexes.
