7. At least three methods exist for naming the compounds in this paper. In the Hantzsch-Widman system, the four-membered rings are diazadiboretanes and the eight-membered monocycle is a tetraazatetraborocine. We suspect few inorganic/organometallic chemists are familiar with this approach and so have chosen to use the replacement nomenclature method. Here one begins with the appropriate name for the all-carbon molecule and replaces carbons with specifically labeled heteroatoms. For further information on this topic, see: (a) Block, B.
