A basic overview of essential aspects of the very rich chemistry of boron is discussed to elucidate the structural behavior and chemical properties of boron-containing molecules. Some introductory elements are provided concerning the peculiar chemical properties of boron, which derive from its electronic configuration, bonding orbitals, and electronegativity, and are fundamental to understanding boron's behavior. The structural complexity deriving from such properties, which results in a variety of structures of elemental boron and boron derivatives, will be subsequently introduced, followed by an outline on the main classes of boron-containing compounds. This overview will begin with inorganic boron derivatives, followed by carbon-containing and, finally, organic boron compounds

Abstract

A basic overview of essential aspects of the very rich chemistry of boron is discussed to elucidate the structural behavior and chemical properties of boron-containing molecules. Some introductory elements are provided concerning the peculiar chemical properties of boron, which derive from its electronic configuration, bonding orbitals, and electronegativity, and are fundamental to understanding boron's behavior. The structural complexity deriving from such properties, which results in a variety of structures of elemental boron and boron derivatives, will be subsequently introduced, followed by an outline on the main classes of boron-containing compounds. This overview will begin with inorganic boron derivatives, followed by carbon-containing and, finally, organic boron compounds
