	Despite recent advancements in the chemistry of multiply bound boron compounds, the laboratory isolation of the parent oxoborane moiety, HBO has long remained an unsolved and well-recognized challenge. The reaction of 6-SIDipp(.)BH3 [6-SIDipp = 1,3-di(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)tetrahydropyrimidine2-ylidene] with GaCl3 afforded an unusual boron-gallium 3c-2e compound (1). The addition of water to 1 resulted in the release of H-2 and the formation of a rare acid stabilized neutral parent oxoborane, LB(H)]O (2). Crystallographic and density functional theory (DFT) analyses support the presence of a terminal B=O double bond. Subsequent addition of another equivalent of water molecule led to hydrolysis of the B-H bond to the B-OH bond, but the {\textquoteleft}B=O{\textquoteright} moiety remained intact, resulting in the formation of the hydroxy oxoborane compound (3), which can be classified as a monomeric form of metaboric acid.</p>
