Isoelectronic comparison to graphene and magnesium boride (MgB2) explains the inevitable holes in borophenes. Similar qualitative analysis of stacking borophene layers towards an equivalent of graphite brings up several possibilities, which are presented here. Electron counting indicates that, in addition to the van der Waals interactions commonly seen in graphite, interlayer 2c–2e and multi-centre bonds, and hole density play an important role in the structure of borophites. The complexity that arises here may surpass that of 3D boron allotropes
