title: Synthesis and reactivity of N,N'-1,4-diazabutadiene derived borocations.
abstract: A series of borocations have been synthesised from the addition of haloboranes to synthetically accessible N,N'-1,4-diazabutadiene precursors, which are derived from commercially available anilines. The synthesis and structural studies of the borocations are described.
