Abstract
with long-range in-plane ordering, as evidenced by multi-wavelength Raman spectroscopy. Judicious pairing of the two molecular precursors is crucial to achieving B-C bond formation and preventing phase-segregation into the thermodynamically favored products. A simple computational method used herein to evaluate the compatibility of bottom-up molecular precursors can be generalized to guide the future synthesis of other metastable materials beyond the boron-carbon system.
