In this presentation it will be shown, through examples chosen in the field of Solid State Chemistry based (i) on light p elements (B,C,N), a proposition of a new ultra-hard carbon nitride C2N1 and (ii) on p and 3d elements (B,Cr), a new di-chromium hexaboride Cr2B6 exhibiting a 2D boron network,. in addition to the phases identified experimentally: Cr2B, Cr5B3, CrB, Cr3B4, Cr2B3 and CrB2. Investigation and concepts first arising from experimental observables are shown to be aided and accelerated via First Principle calculations of energy and energy related quantities and the electron transfer and electron localization between atoms will be illustrated by using the electron localization function (ELF)2,3.
