Objectives of the Course

It teaches the fundamentals and principles that allow the element boron to be recognized at the molecular level. The chemical reactions of boron provide an opportunity to gain in-depth insight into its role in chemical bonding.

Course Content

Examination of the reactions and properties of boron compounds. Acquisition of information about the coordinations of the electron-deficient boron element, the molecular properties of boranes, diboranes, cyclic boron compounds, carboranes, their physical and chemical properties and the usage areas of boron compounds in industry.
