Physical properties
Strontium boride appears as a crystalline black powder. Closer examination reveals slightly translucent dark red crystals capable of scratching quartz. It is very stable and has a high melting point and density. Although not thought to be toxic, it is an irritant to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. It has the formula of SrB6, with a molecular weight of 152.49 g/mol. It is a black crystalline solid (15.0 °C) with a density of 3.39 g/cm3, and a melting point of 2235.0°C. Strontium boride, along with other alkali earth metal borides, has been shown to exhibit weak ferromagnetism at low temperatures.
Uses
Strontium boride is used in insulation and nuclear control rods.
Preparation
Strontium boride can be formed directly from the
elements. Sr melts at 777°C and boron melts at
2076 °C. Therefore, if a vapor of Sr metal at >850°C
(red-heat) is passed over crystals of boron, reaction
forms the desired boride. However, to obtain stoichiometric
compositions, it is better to heat the well-mixed
powders of Sr and B to obtain specific compounds:
Sr+ 6B→SrB6
