Researchers from the University of Würzburg are opening up new horizons in chemistry: They present the world's first triple bond between the atoms boron and carbon.

“Compounds in which individual atoms feel ‘uncomfortable’ often show a very interesting reactivity,”
Reactivity and triple bond would seem to be opposite properties as triple bond sounds "extra stable". Reactivity would seem to make "electrochemistry" breakup of molecules easy, but this molecule doesn't seem to produce useful fuel, or compounds that are not easier to get by other means.
What is interesting about this molecule's reactivity?
I don't think triple bond means extra stability in all cases. Often its like flex taped something bulky into small area which is going to explode.. One of the triple bond may easily break and show reactivity.
Don't trust me I ain't chemist but extra stability is seen on N2 but not on C-C bonds IIRC
