Ken Wade recalls his own undistinguished part in the space race, and notes how carboranes revitalized boron hydride chemistry and modified our ideas of chemical bonding. In the 1950s, during the ...
Because boron has one less electron than is required to form the bonds with the surrounding silicon atoms, an electron vacancy or “hole” is created. The n-type silicon is made by including atoms that ...
showcasing the versatility of boron in forming complex organic molecules. Boronic acids play a crucial role in molecular recognition systems, particularly in binding to saccharides through dynamic ...
Crystalline boron imidazolate frameworks (BIFs ... BIFs contain both covalent bonds (B–N) and metal coordination bonds (M–N).
