An annulated 1,3,2,5‐diazadiborinine with 14 π electrons has been synthesized and fully characterized. Experimental and computational studies revealed that this compound features a rather small HOMO–LUMO gap, which leads to enhanced reactivity towards small molecules. Thus, the 1,3,2,5‐diazadiborini...
