Abstract

The bonding features of α-boron were studied using electron density analysis procedures. Deformation density maps and valence density were calculated and the structure analysed by so-called multipole refinements, yielding R - 0.0119. The refinement model correctly describes the bonding and results in a difference density distribution free from any meaningful residual peaks.
