  "abstract": "Inorganic analogues of aromatic compounds, wherein C═C bonds are replaced with B─N bonds, are isoelectronic with the original aromatic compounds, however, they can show different properties. While borazine, an inorganic analogue of benzene, has been well‐studied, inorganic analogues of chalcogenophene have been less explored. Here, we synthesized crystalline isolable inorganic furan 2O and thiophene 2S by atom swapping reaction at the carbenoid carbon of K/Cl‐diborylcarbenoid, an equivalent to diborylcarbene. Density functional theory calculation exhibited that, in contrast to the quite weak aromatic character of borazine, inorganic chalcogenophenes 2O and 2S have a moderate aromaticity. Theoretical investigation of the reaction mechanism suggested that the atom swapping reaction occurred via oxidation of diborylcarbenoid 1 to diboralactone intermediate 3Ch and the following intramolecular rearrangement reaction.",
