Abstract

Abstract : Lattice parameters, atomic parameters, and interatomic distances of Cr3B4 alloy were investigated. The results of lattice parameter determinations agree with those of Anderson and Kiessling (Acta Chem. Scand. 4:160, 1950). The space group Immm derived by Kiessling in the study of TaB4 was confirmed. The difference between the two shortest non-equivalent boron-boron distances was not significant. Thus, Cr3B4 has no abnormally short boron-boron distances as was suggested by Kiessling.
