Abstract

Abstract: We report the spectroscopic identification of the [B3 (NN)3 ] + and [B3 (CO)3 ] + complexes, which feature the smallest π‐aromatic system B3 + . A quantum chemical bonding analysis shows that the adducts are mainly stabilized by L→[B3 L2 ] + σ‐donation. Abstract : Minimal π systems : The [B3 (NN)3 ] + and [B3 (CO)3 ] + complexes are identified through infrared photodissociation spectroscopy. The complexes feature the smallest π‐aromatic system B3 + . Quantum chemical bonding analysis reveals that the adducts are stabilized by L→[B3 L2 ] + σ‐donation.
