Abstract

A NOVEL technique has been found for the synthesis of boron nitride and phosphide involving thermal decomposition of halide addition compounds. Further work is intended on the reactions involved but the information thus far obtained is felt to warrant a brief, preliminary report for the benefit of other workers in this field.
