Abstract

Icosahedral boron phosphide (B12P2) was directly synthesized from elemental powders by a high-temperature reaction under an argon pressure. Powder diffraction data were collected for two B12P2 samples, and diffraction patterns were compared with calculated patterns of phosphorus deficient crystals: B12+xP2−x for 0<;x<0.2. The as-synthesized B12P2 appears to be close to its ideal stoichiometry based on the consistency between the observed and the calculated values of the relative intensity for all diffraction planes below 90° 2θ.
