Chemistry:Borosilicide

From HandWiki

Boride silicides (also called borosilicides)[1] are mixed anion compounds containing silicide and boride linked into anions.[2]

Synthesis

Boride silicides may be produced by melting together the elements in a boron nitride crucible, sealed in tantalum. Tin may be used as a solvent.[3] Alkali metal iodides can also be used as a solvent.[4]

Use

Borosilicides are of interest in research for ultra-high temperature materials for use in jet engines, catalysts and also for thermoelectric materials.[4]

Structure

There are not many different structures for borosilicides, particularly compared to the boride carbides. Most known compounds are rich in boron, but a few are rich in silicon.[5] The boron and silicon atoms do not appear as isolated ions, but are covalently bound into a network. Boron networks found in metal borides are enlarged by the addition of silicon, which allows inclusion of metal atoms that are larger than would otherwise be stable.[6]

Transition elements can form a tetragonal M5SiB2 series of compounds. These are called MAB phases (M for metal, A here is silicon, and B is boron).[7] However the compounds for zirconium and hafnium are energetically unfavourable.[8]
