The bonding and local atomic structure of a series of 3d metal-beta boron solid solution are investigated using a combination of x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended fine structure (EXAFS) technique utilizing intense synchrotron radiation as a light source. The corresponding metal diborides MB2, (M = Sc, Ti, V, Cr).were also measured and used to model the coordination environment of these metal sites in beta-boron.
