Termed gamma-boron, their new form of boron is made up of two forms of boron clusters - B 2pairs and B 12 icosahedra - arranged in a sodium chloride type structure. Now Artem Oganov from Stony Brook University, New York, US, and colleagues have made a new structure to add to the list. There are at least 16 known polymorphs of boron, but only three of these are thought to correspond to the pure element. SECTION 14.Scientists have characterised a new form of elemental boron - a notoriously hard element to synthesise in a pure form - and found that ionic bonding helps hold the structure together. Smaller quantities can be disposed of with household waste.Ĭonsult official regulations to ensure proper disposal.ĭisposal must be made according to official regulations.
