51. In a BN chain with equal bond lengths, there are no degenerate (formula presented) bands at the Fermi level, because the (formula presented) orbitals constituting the bands are located on different atomic species (B and N). Thus, all the occupied bands are doubly filled and the system is an insulator. A similar reasoning explains the insulating nature of polyiminoborane with equidistant atoms, as compared to trans polyacetylene without bond alternation.
