Diborane(2)

Diborane(2) or diborene is a theoretical/hypothetical inorganic compound with the formula B2H2. It is predicted to have a symmetric covalently bonded structure of H–B=B–H with linear geometry. It has been suggested that the boron–boron bonding in this compound may be a pure pi bond, one that does not have any net sigma bonding associated with it. The compound will be a very strong Lewis acid as each boron has a share in only 6 valence electrons.
