Boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen: these four elements can form chemical triple bonds with each other due to their similar electronic properties. Examples of this are the gas carbon monoxide ...

Magnesium fluoride, on the other hand, evaporates efficiently at 1000 °C to form boron fluoride gas, which promotes evaporation of the boron oxide melt at around 1300 °C and helps activate the ...

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 ...
