Boron monoxide

Boron monoxide (B₂O) is a chemical compound of boron and oxygen. Two experimental studies have proposed existence of diamond-like and graphite-like B₂O, as for boron nitride and carbon solids. However, a later, systematic, experimental study of boron oxide phase diagram suggests that B₂O is unstable. The instability of the graphite-like B₂O phase was also predicted theoretically.
