Basic organic chemistry approaches three-membered heterocycles as strained and somehow exotic structures. Beside some methods of preparation, most attention is devoted to the ring strain and electronic character of the o bonds. These very properties, however, render small heterocycles with general formulae C2X (X=0, N, S) valuable reagents and building blocks. The basic reaction of the three-membered heterocycles can be outlined as in Scheme 5.21. 

Two capabilities of ISS are important in applications to the analysis of ceramics. One of these is its surface sensitivity. Many catalyst systems use ceramics where the surface chemistry of the outer 50 A or less is extremely important to performance. Comparing the ratio of H and O to AI or Si is equally important for many systems involving bonding operations, such as ceramic detectors, thin films, and hydroxyapatite for medical purposes. 

Boron (like silicon) invariably occurs in nature as 0X0 compounds and is never found as the element or even directly bonded to any other element than oxygen. The structural chemistry of B-O compounds is characterized by an extraordinary complexity and diversity which rivals those of the borides (p. 145) and boranes (p. 151). In addition, vast numbers of predominantly organic compounds containing B-O are known.
