Talk:Borazine

message: In the infobox, the rightmost structure shows borazine as aromatic, drawn with a circle in the middle. Later in the article, we learn that the electrons in the ring are not fully delocalized, a fact which is confirmed with my inorganic chemistry textbook. If this is the case, can we draw borazine with a circle in the middle, the way benzene is?Jeff Dahl 02:55, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Structural objection? 

message: The page indicates 55 C at 105 Pa.  Should the 105 really be 10^5, i.e, 100kPa?
And, should the 161 C really be 131 F (the conversion from 55 C)?
I've tried to find independent information, but I have not been able to verify that Wikipedia was not the source of the information!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bellzbell (talk • contribs) 19:04, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Problem with the boiling point numbers? 

message: Hi y'all! I am currently in progress of updating this page to include more computational data on borazine's structure, including in particular much more research on its aromaticity. I will also include more about applications of borazine in inorganic and organic polymers. I am drafting it in my sandbox and will incorporate into the page over the next few days.

replies: text: Thank you for the heads up. Here are some data and some advice:
*According to ChemAbs today, 2557 patents, papers, reports, etc have been published on "borazine". 
*That fact leads to the main question: how are you going to select the papers that should be discussed?  A snarkier way to put the question: who are you to select a handful articles out of this haystack?  Do the articles need to be in English, in U.S. journals, and by "people you respect"?  That approach can lead to problems, which you probably want to avoid.
*Solution: strive to adhere to WP:SECONDARY or WP:TERTIARY, i.e. cite reviews and books only.  This advice would apply to fellow students if you are in a class.
*Final comment: bonding in borazine might be fascinating (or assigned) to you, but the topic is a subset of the overall chemistry, so keep perspective.--Smokefoot (talk) 19:06, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for the advice! Out of the large list of patents, papers, and reports on borazine, only a small number explicitly deal with structural and chemical considerations of borazine in particular --- many only include the compound offhand, or deal with derivatives or very specific subsets of reactivity. I understand that there is a risk of cherry picking, and was thorough in my research to ensure that there were a number of techniques employed in the analysis (I should note: the previous version of the page had a large amount of detail on borazine under a single citation of an inorganic textbook, so these updates should hopefully diversify the references). I would also like to note, the nature of bonding in borazine will define its reactivity (they are emergent properties of its fundamental chemistry). It's especially important to discuss for borazine, due to the clear comparison with benzene (which is the textbook example of aromaticity), and the misconception in introductory textbooks and in some circles of the chemistry community that its bonding is more or less equivalent to benzene (hence its moniker "inorganic benzene").--Paynemic (talk) 23:11, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

message: In my opinion, in the section "Structure", in the left one of the three mesomeric structures, a lone pair of electrons should be drawn on each of the three N atoms, also to allow readers to understand where the (nominal) pi bonds in the other two structures come from.
