Treatment of tetrakis(dimethylamino)diboron (B₂(NMe₂)₄) with 1,4-bis (2-(triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl)naphthalene-2,3-diamine (1) generated a large NBBN polycyclic compound 1,1-B₂{2,3-(NH)₂ -1,4-(ⁱPr₃ SiC₂)₂C₁₀H₄} (2). The X-ray structure analysis reveals that 2 has a twisted structure (dihedral angle...
