Boron Chemistry – 4 : Plenary and Session Lectures Presented at the Fourth International Meeting on Boron Chemistry, Salt Lake City and Snowbird, Utah, USA, 9-13 July 1979

Boron Chemistry - 4 covers the proceedings of the Fourth International Meeting on Boron Chemistry. The book contains invited plenary lectures and session lectures given during the conference. The text discusses several topics concerning boron chemistry, such as conceptual advances in boron chemistry; cluster compounds and carboranes; and organometallic compounds containing boron ligands, boron clusters, or carboranes. This monograph also explains boranes as reagents in organic chemistry; organoboranes; chemistry of smaller boranes; and applications of the boranes. This book will be of great interest to researchers whose line of work involves a certain aspect of boron.
