Cover Story: Diamond has excellent physical properties and is one of the World's most inert materials, yet engineering its surface properties is an outstanding challenge for chemists and material scientists. Generating new covalent bonds could allow diamond to be used in emergent quantum sensing and biomedical technologies. Here, we explore a new chemical route to produce ultrathin boron layers on nanoscale diamond with the use of trigonal planar boron molecules. A unique growth mechanism similar to atomic layer deposition was found using wet chemistry and was initiated by tertiary alcohols on the diamond surface. View this paper
