✦ Synopsis

An immensely broad scope of structural motifs is covered by the intriguing chemistry of boron-sulfur and boron-selenium compounds. Characteristic structural features of the binary boron sulfides can be applied to understand and rationalize the three-dimensional atomic arrangement in macromolecular anionic frameworks such as that of Li [B S ]S (x≈2, shown in the picture; ○: S, •: B, ○: Li). Of interest are also the ion dynamics of lithium thioborates and a persubstituted B icosahedron that was prepared by high-temperature synthesis and features a characteristic planar B Se ring at the chelating ligand.
