Boron monoxide is a one-dimensional polymer
It was recently reported that boron monoxide (BO) is formed through the cross-linking of B<sub>4</sub>O<sub>2</sub> structural building units. Multiple theoretical phases agree with this description. Using pycnometry, multidimensional <sup>17</sup>O NMR spectroscopy, and plane-wave DFT calculations we determined the likely polymorph to be a one-dimensional polymer initially proposed in 1955.
