Boron
bō"rŏn (Chem) A nonmetallic element occurring abundantly in borax. It is reduced with difficulty to the free state, when it can be obtained in several different forms; viz., as a substance of a deep olive color, in a semimetallic form, and in colorless quadratic crystals similar to the diamond in hardness and other properties. It occurs in nature also in boracite, datolite, tourmaline, and some other minerals. Atomic number 5. Atomic weight 10.81. Symbol B.

boron
Chemical symbol, B; atomic weight, 11. A chemical element belonging to the group of non-metals. Two allotropic forms of this element are known, one a brown, amorphous powder, slightly soluble in water, the other (adamantine boron) crystalline, and with a luster and hardness inferior only to that of the diamond. In all its compounds boron appears to be trivalent. It does not occur in nature in the free state, but some of its compounds are well-known articles of commerce. It is prepared by heating boric acid at a high temperature with some powerful reducing agent, such as potassium or aluminium. Its oxygen acid, horacic acid, and the soda salt, borax, are extensively used in the arts.

In an earlier publication,4 we discussed the possible existence of metallic boron nanotubes that could serve such a purpose.
Metal-Boron Nanotubes
Boron nanotubes can be constructed from the so-called Aufbau principle for the formation of stable boron compounds formulated in Ref. 5.
Metal-Boron Nanotubes
This Aufbau principle identifies a small set of simple structural features characteristic of the most stable isomers of pure boron clusters and proposes that highly stable boron clusters, surfaces, and networks can be constructed using only these structural elements.
Metal-Boron Nanotubes
Crystalline α-boron has long been the paradigm for boron bonding.
Metal-Boron Nanotubes
The coordination in the proposed boron nanotubes is very different – hexagonal pyramidal – but also follows the Aufbau principle.
