Replacement of one carbon atom in an aromatic hydrocarbon by nitrogen gives rise to an isoconjugate positive ion; eg, the pyridinium ion is related in this way to benzene. Replacement by boron should give an analogous negative ion. Replacement of a pair of carbon atoms, one by nitrogen and one by boron, should therefore give a neutral aromatic system. Borazole is the only hitherto known compound of this type; we now describe a similar analogue of phenanthrene with the 9: 10-carbon atoms so replaced. The parent compound, and derivatives with chlorine, hydroxy, methyl, ethyl, and phenyl attached to boron, have been prepared; they have the expected aromatic properties.IF one carbon atom in an aromatic hydrocarbon is replaced by nitrogen, an isoconjugate positive ion is obtained; for example, the pyridinium ion C5NH6+ is related in this way to benzene, C6H6. Replacement of one carbon atom by boron should likewise give rise to an isoconjugate negative ion, eg, C, BH6-, but no compounds of this type are known. It follows that replacement of a pair of carbon atoms, one by nitrogen and one by boron, should give rise to a neutral aromatic system; thus three such molecules (I),(11), and (111) should be capable of existence, all isoconjugate with benzene. It has long been recognised that borazole (IV) is of this type, being derived from benzene by replacement of all three pairs of carbon atoms; the chemical and spectroscopic properties of borazole indicate that it is aromatic. However, no other such aromatic boron compounds have yet been prepared (unless boron nitride is regarded as such an analogue of graphite), and we have therefore undertaken a general study of this new class of aromatic system. In this preliminary paper we describe the preparation and properties of compounds derived from phenanthrene by replacing the 9-carbon atom by nitrogen and the 10-carbon atom by boron.
