A new tungsten boride has been prepared and has been assigned the formula WB(2). The assignment is based on comparison of the x-ray diffraction data of this boride with those of diborides of the AlB(2) type structure. Values of a(0) = 3.02 and c(0) = 3.05 were calculated for a hexagonal unit cell.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
