Boron carbides explained
Boron carbides are boron–carbon compounds.
Boron carbide (B4C)
See main article: Boron carbide.
α-tetragonal boron
α-tetragonal boron is a boron-rich isotropic boron carbide (B50C2).
Borafullerenes
See main article: Borafullerene. Borafullerenes are a class of heterofullerenes in which the element substituting for carbon is boron.
