Inspired by carbo-benzene, we have analyzed in silica the stability of carbo-borazine (C12B3N3H6) and the iminobora-mer of borazine (B9N9H6). Both systems may be regarded as the inorganic analogues of carbo-benzene, being B9N9H6 the perfect case. Unlike aromatic carbo-benzene, C12B3N3H6 and B9N9H6 can be classified as almost nonaromatic systems as indicated by the computed induced magnetic field. All these systems undergo dimerization very readily; therefore, they cannot be synthesized as such. However, akin to substituted carbo-benzene, the substitution of the hydrogen atom of C12B3N3H6 and B9N9H6 by other groups could stabilize them. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
