The thermoelectric properties of beta-rhombohedral boron and boron carbide, the best-investigated icosahedral boron-rich solids, are reviewed. Because of its high density of gap states (~1021cm-3) generated by intrinsic defects, p-type boron carbide behaves electronically extrinsic up to at least 2000 K, and therefore…

Symmetric ethenyldithiophenes are important intermediates for synthesis of photochromic materials and organic conductors. When acetonitrile is used as a solvent, 3-methylthiophenylphosphonium salts form symmetric ethenyldithiophenes in the presence of a strong base (e.g., NaH, (t)BuOK) in moderate to high yields. This…
