A major step toward simpler drug development has been taken at the University of Gothenburg. In a new study, researchers have developed stable boron-fluorine compounds that make it possible to ...

Boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen: these four elements can form chemical triple bonds with each other due to their similar ...

Recently, two-dimensional (2D) boron sheets, namely borophenes, have drawn great interests of materials scientists because of their analogy to graphene. However, the understanding on how the material ...

One such material that has attracted considerable interest is borophene - a single-atom-thick sheet of boron atoms. First theoretically predicted in the 1990s, borophene remained elusive ...

Chemical compounds based on the element boron are central tools in modern chemistry and are used, among other things, to build drugs, advanced materials, and molecules for medical diagnostics. Some ...

Researchers are opening up new horizons in chemistry: They present the world's first triple bond between the atoms boron and carbon. Boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen: these four elements can form ...

Replacing a hydrogen atom in the drug with a boron-fluorine compound, boracycle, opens up great opportunities to modify the drug's properties. In this illustration, the boron-fluorine compound has ...
