Boron organoboranes

Aluminum alkyls, aUcylaluminum halides, and alkylalu-minum hydrides strongly associate in solution and in the solid state." The association of trialkylaluminum compounds is in stark contrast to the monomeric nature of trialkylboron see Boron Organoboranes) and trialkylgaUium (see GalUum Organometallic Chemistry) compounds.

This article covers only a part of the chemistry of boron. Boron-carbon compounds are covered in other articles in this volume see Boron Organoboranes Boron Metallacarbaboranes, and Boron Polyhedral Carboranes). The main subject of the latter two articles, and the separate one on Boron Hydrides is the extensive chemistry of the multicenter bonded boron-hydride systems. This area has been a major focus of boron research for the past 60 years. There is some direct overlap between the two articles Borides Solid-state Chemistry and Borates Solid-state Chemistry, and this more general one covering the inorganic chemistry of boron. Boron-Nitrogen Compounds are also covered separately. These articles should be consulted for more detailed discussions of the structure, bonding, and properties of borides, solid-state borates, and boron-nitrogen compounds.
