There is currently tremendous interest in the previously documented example of a stable species exhibiting a boron-boron triple bond (<i>Science</i>, 2012, <b>336</b>, 1420). Notably, it has recently been stated using arguments based on force constants that this diboryne may not, in reality, feature a boron-boron triple bond. Here, we use advanced solid-state NMR and computational methodology in order to directly probe the orbitals involved in multiple boron-boron bonds experimentally <i>via</i> ...[more]
