The first supplement volume eomplements the 20 volumes on boron eompounds (Borverbin dungen) that have been published within the New Supplement Series (Erg.-Werk) of the eighth edition of the Gmelin Handbook by uniformly updating the literature eoverage to the end of 1977. However, the deseription in this supplement volume follows largely the Gmelin prineiple of the last position. The systems boron-hydrogen and boron-oxygen were presented in the first part, the systems boron-nitrogen and boron-halogens in the seeond part. This third and final part eontains the systems boron-ehaleogens and also earboranes as weil as a formula index for the three parts of the first supplement volume. Besides the earboranes many additional examples of earbon-eontaining or organie eompounds are ineluded in the presentation, partieularly in those eases where the earbon-free speeies are not known. As was the ease in the volumes of the New Supplement Series, a substantial part of this supplement volume is already presented in the English language. The IUPAC nomenelature is adhered to as mueh as possible, deviations are elearly indieated. Unless otherwise noted, a positive sign for the ehemieal shifts of nuelear magnetie resonanee 1 13 signals indieates downfield from the referenees (CH3)4Si for 8 H and 8 C, (C H hO' BF for 2 5 3 11 14 31 8 B, aqueous NaN0 for 8 N, and 85% H P0 for 8 P.
