= Borazine
{title2=$\mathrm{B_3N_3H_6}$}

<Borazine> is the alternating six-membered $\mathrm{B_3N_3H_6}$ ring. Planar boron and <nitrogen> centers permit N-to-B pi donation, but unequal orbital energies strongly polarize the bonding. It undergoes addition and <hydrolysis> much more readily than <benzene>; the structural analogy does not give <benzene>-like chemical inertness.
