- Where
- Royal Society of London
Observations from 1808 experiments led to the isolation of boron, noted in 1809.
The observations gathered from Davy's experiments on alkaline earths during the first half of 1808 also led to the isolation of boron. While the legacy row groups boron with the 1808 announcement, the source text explicitly states that these observations led to isolating boron in 1809.
