This document summarizes research on a series of Bhowmik compounds labeled B12-B20. For each compound, it reports the phase transition temperatures observed using optical microscopy and the crystal structures determined through X-ray diffraction. The research was funded by the NSF US Ireland R&D Partnership and involved optical microscopy by Mike Fisch and X-ray diffraction work by Lee Sharpnack and Tyler Harris.
