On-surface synthesis of a 2D boroxine framework: a route to a novel 2D material?

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Apr 17;54(32):3971-3973. doi: 10.1039/c8cc01372a.

Abstract

The synthesis and preliminary characterization of a boron-based 2D framework are presented. The peculiar electronic and morphological properties of this compound, together with its facile formation process, enable it to be used as a novel smart material for the design of electronic devices.
