" Organoboranes can be readily converted to other functional groups under mild conditions, making them versatile intermediates of organic synthesis. Their use in optically active compounds has been reviewed recently.

" The fabrication of many microelectronic and optoelectronic devices relies on the availability of compound semiconductors. A new route has been discovered for vapor deposition under mild conditions that form compounds with strong sigma bonding between group m and group V elements.
