Abstract
THE bond order of boron–nitrogen compounds and the aromatic character of borazoles have been subjects of interest for many years (see, for example, ref. 1). It is shown here that bond energy terms and bond length measurements give apparently conflicting information about the relative strengths of some boron–nitrogen bonds.
