Boron Nitride Nanomesh: A template for Nano-ice
Using variable temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and dI/dz barrier height spectroscopy, the structure of water on h-BN/Rh(111) nanomesh has been investigated. Below its desorption temperature, two distinct phases of water self-assemble within the

Ab initio many-body calculations on infinite carbon and boron-nitrogen chains
In this paper we report first-principles calculations on the ground-state electronic structure of two infinite one-dimensional systems: (a) a chain of carbon atoms and (b) a chain of alternating boron and nitrogen atoms.

Macropolyhedral boron-containing cluster chemistry. Ligand-induced two-electron variations of intercluster bonding intimacy. Structures of nineteen-vertex[(eta(5)-C5Me5) HIrB18H19(PMe2Ph)] and the related carbene complex [(eta(5)-C5Me5)HIrB18H19{C(NHMe)(2)}] [PDF]
Addition of PMe2Ph to fused-cluster syn-[(η5-C5Me5)IrB18H20] 1 to give [(η5-C5Me5)HIrB18H19(PMe2Ph)] 3 entails a diminution in the degree of intimacy of the intercluster fusion, rather than retention of inter-subcluster binding intimacy and a nido ...

Al13 − and B@Al12 − superatoms on a molecularly decorated substrate
Anionic aluminium clusters are promising candidates for the fabrication of superatom-assembled nanomaterials. Here, the authors report enhanced stability for Al13 − and boron-doped B@Al12 − on a molecularly decorated p-type organic substrate.

We present a new class of boron sheets, composed of triangular and hexagonal motifs, that are more stable than structures considered to date and thus are likely to be the precursors of boron nanotubes. We describe a simple and clear picture of electronic

Dynamic Phase Diagram of Catalytic Surface of Hexagonal Boron Nitride under Conditions of Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Propane. [PDF]
Partially oxidized surfaces of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and several metal borides are unexpectedly excellent catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes to olefins, but the nature of the active site(s) on these B-containing interfaces remains

Macropolyhedral boron-containing cluster chemistry: two-electron variations in intercluster bonding intimacy. Contrasting structures of 19-vertex [(eta(5)-C5Me5)HIrB18H19(PHPh2)] and [(eta(5) -C5Me5)IrB18H18(PH2Ph)] [PDF]
Fused double-cluster [(5-C5Me5)IrB18H18(PH2Ph)]8, from syn-[(5-C5Me5)IrB18H20] 1 and PH2Ph, retains the three-atoms-in-common cluster fusion intimacy of 1, in contrast to [(5-C5Me5)HIrB18H19(PHPh2)]6, from PHPh2 with 1, which exhibits an opening to a ...
