Theory has long predicted that by pumping extra electrons into a compound such as diborane, the boron–hydrogen–boron structure should break down to form a boron–boron single bond. Until now, however, ...

Similarly, by donating one of phosphorus's electrons to boron, the two atoms effectively have four valence electrons each at their disposal to build four covalent bonds with their neighbors in the ...

How to make a boron triple bond Periodically in good company Read more: " Brand new bonding skills make boron more like carbon " is an extended version of this article In a vacuum-sealed ...

A single covalent bond is two electrons shared between two atoms. Carbon, with four outer electrons, and nitrogen with five, form triple covalent bonds consisting of six shared electrons, or three ...

"That covalent bond pacifies the boron," Raines says. "The boron can no longer react with an oxygen molecule in the way that boron in other contexts can, and it still retains its desirable ...

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

In response to the efficiency roll-off issue in narrowband organic electroluminescent materials, a π-conjugation extension strategy involving boron-nitrogen covalent bonds has been proposed ...

Recent years have witnessed a surge of interest in targeted covalent inhibition of disease-associated proteins. Among the electrophiles used to interact with nucleophilic residues in protein ...

Covalent drugs go from fringe field to fashionable endeavor Designing molecules that make bonds with their biological targets is in vogue by Bethany Halford ...

"That covalent bond pacifies the boron," Raines says. "The boron can no longer react with an oxygen molecule in the way that boron in other contexts can, and it still retains its desirable ...
