Stable planar six-pi-electron six-membered N-heterocyclic carbenes with tunable electronic properties.
Carbene analogues of borazines are highly thermally stable. Keeping quasi-identical steric demands, the electronic properties of the carbene can be precisely tuned by varying the nature of the substituents at the boron centers.
