Synthesis and Characterization of Fe, Ru and Os Metal Borides

Omar Ali Al-Zain and Al-Masoudi Reem Soliyman

Direct reaction of Fe₂O₃ at 500, 700 and 1000°C for two, two and 15 h, respectively, with elemental boron in a muffle furnace yielding black beautiful nanorods of FeB crystals with high yield of 72% (as proved by xrd, tem and Magnetic hysteresis). Going down the group of the transition metals RuCl₃ and OsCl₃ reacted directly with elemental boron in a muffle furnace at 500, 700 and 1000°C for two, two and 15 h, respectively yielding nanorods crystals (as proved by xrd, tem and Magnetic hysteresis) of RuB₂, Ru₂B₃ (yield was 68%) and OsB₂ (yield was 56%).
