Chemistry Involving the Preparation, Isolation, and Immobilization ofNanocrystalline and/or Microcrystalline Boron Arsenide, Boron Phosphide, Boron Antimonide

摘要

During this report period, publications 1 and 2 (see below) appeared in print(the contents of the papers were reported in two previous Interim Technical Reports). Michael Lube prepared the adduct Cl3B.Sb(Sb(SiMe3)3), the third Lewis acid-base adduct of boron and antimony to be structurally characterized. This adduct along with Br3 B.Sb(SiMe3)3 and I3B.Sb(SiMe3)3 are the subject of publication 3 (see below) with the manuscript being written by Michael. Based on the various data obtained, it appeared that the black powders obtained from the thermolysis of these adducts were a mixture of nanocrystalline Sb (hex) and
