Strontium boride (Sr B₆) is an inorganic compound. At room temperature, it appears as a crystalline black powder.^[1] Closer examination reveals slightly translucent dark red crystals capable of scratching quartz.^[2] 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.^[1]

Magnetism[edit]

Strontium boride, along with other alkali-earth metal borides, has been shown to exhibit weak ferromagnetism at low temperatures.^[3] This is thought by some to be caused by slight impurities or aberrations in the crystal lattice,^[4]^[5] while others suggest different explanations are needed.^[6] Strontium boride has also been examined for semiconducting properties at lower temperatures.^[7]

Preparation[edit]

In his book The Electric Furnace, Henri Moissan describes an early synthesis of strontium boride by mixing strontium borate, aluminum, and carbon in an electric furnace.^[2] Alternatively, a solid-phase synthesis of strontium boride can be carried out by reacting two moles of strontium carbonate with three moles of boron carbide and one mole of carbon inside a vacuum furnace.^[8]

Uses[edit]

Strontium boride is used in insulation and nuclear control rods.^[8] A recent patent filed for aircraft windows uses SrB₆ nanoparticles in a transparent acrylic sheet. The IR-absorbing properties of these nanoparticles prevents the transmittance of infrared wavelengths while still allowing the transmittance of visible light.^[9]
