title: 1,3-Diborata-2,4-diphosphoniocyclobutane-1,3-diyls communicate through a para-phenylene linker.
abstract: The presence of a second 1,3-diborata-2,4-diphosphoniocyclobutane-1,3-diyl in the para-position of a phenylene linker favors the diradical form over the 1,3-diborata-2,4-diphosphoniobicyclo[1.1.0]butane bond stretch isomer, as long as the two planar diradical units are coplanar with the linker. This demonstrates that two BPBP diradicals communicate through the phenyl ring.
