Related Compounds

Hamburg:

The Fifteenth International Symposium on Boron, Borides, and Related Compounds was devoted to all aspects of solid state research on and the applications of boron containing materials.

Over the last decades, there has been an increasing interest in inorganic compounds with exciting structure-property relationships.

Boron and borides are among those materials, and they are especially fascinating because of their electronic, magnetic, and mechanical properties as well as their complex crystal structures. The conference was comprised of several sessions with invited and contributing oral presentations, and supplemented by a number of poster presentations.
