Abstract: coupling constants for diborenes and a diboryne, measured experimentally, is in agreement with that known for alkenes and alkynes. This experimental probe of the electronic structure of the boron-boron multiple bond provides strong evidence supporting the originally proposed nature of the bonds in the diboryne and diborenes, and demonstrates that the orbitals involved in boron-boron bonding are equivalent to those well known to construct the multiple bonds between other second-row elements such as carbon and nitrogen.
