No Structure Information
This entry has no structure information.
To add it, be sure the Wikipedia entry contains a valid CAS number in its "Chembox", "Chembox new", "Drugbox", or "Explosivebox" template.
Even with a valid CAS number, structural information may not appear because of limitations in Chempedia's database. Stay tuned for developments in this area.
Magnesium diboride (MgB2) is an inexpensive and simple superconductor. Its superconductivity was announced in the journal Nature in March 2001. Its critical temperature (Tc) of 39 K is the highest amongst conventional superconductors. This material was first synthesized and its structure confirmed in 1953 but its superconducting properties were not discovered until half a century later.
