Abstract
In this issue of Chem, Braunschweig et al. report the selective synthesis of an electron-precise tetra(amino)tetraborane featuring a puckered B4 ring. Chemical redox reactions lead to the stable radical anion, dianion, and radical cation. The four charge states of the B4 ring are poised to spark a revolution in boron chemistry.
