title: Formazans as beta-diketiminate analogues. Structural characterization of boratatetrazines and their reduction to borataverdazyl radical anions.
abstract: Formazans react with boron triacetate to produce boratatetrazines, which can be reduced to yield borataverdazyl radical anions--the first boron containing verdazyl radicals.
