Abstract
A new previously unknown phase of boron nitride with a hardness of 0.41–0.63 GPa has been pre-pared by the supercritical fluid synthesis. The presence of a new phase is confirmed by the X-ray spectra and IR absorption spectra, where new reflections and bands are distinguished. The fundamental reflection of the X-ray diffraction pattern is d = 0.286–0.291 nm, and the characteristic band in the infrared absorption spectrum is observed at 704 cm−1. The X-ray diffraction pattern and the experimental and theoretical infrared absorption spectra show that a new synthesized boron nitride phase can be a cluster crystal (space group 211) with a simple cubic lattice. Cage clusters of a fullerene-like morphology B24N24 with point symmetry O are arranged in lattice sites.
