Oxoborane
Sign in to saveIn chemistry, an oxoborane is any chemical compound containing a boron atom with a terminal oxygen atom (a functional group). The compound class is of some relevance to academic research. The parent compound, HBO, itself called "oxoborane", together with derivatives , , , and have been detected in matrix isolation or in the gaseous phase at high temperature. In these compounds the boron and oxygen form a triple bond prone to cyclotrimerization to boroxines.
