This multi-author edited volume reviews the recent developments in boron chemistry, with a particular emphasis on the contribution of computational chemistry. The contributors come from Europe, the USA and Asia. About 60% of the book concentrates on theoretical and computational themes whilst 40% is on topics of interest to experimental chemists. Specific themes covered include structure, topology, modelling and prediction, the role of boron clusters in synthetic chemistry and catalysis, as medical agents when acting as inhibitors of HIV protease and carbonic anhydrases.
