Graphical Abstract

Closing the loop: Photoisomerization of 1,2-dihydro-1,2-azaborine in neon, argon, or xenon at 4 K with UV light (253.7 nm) as part of a matrix isolation study led to the Dewar form as the only photoproduct, in agreement with the vibrational spectra computed for possible isomers of 1,2-dihydro-1,2-azaborine.
