The Existence and Formation of the Solid B[sub 6]O

Abstract
The suboxide of boron, , has been prepared as a pure crystalline powder and in dense solid masses. The existence of was substantiated from crystallographic, chemical, and density data. Information on x‐ray diffraction, chemical formation, oxidation resistance, and stability is also described. was found to have a greater diamond pyramid hardness than boron carbide.
