There total 10 articles about Strontium boride (SrB6), (OC-6-11)- which guide to synthetic route it. The literature collected by LookChem mainly comes from the sharing of users and the free literature resources found by Internet computing technology. We keep the original model of the professional version of literature to make it easier and faster for users to retrieve and use. At the same time, we analyze and calculate the most feasible synthesis route with the highest yield for your reference as below:

synthetic route:

Reference yield:

strontium titanate + magnesium diboride → titanium diboride (12045-63-5) + strontium hexaboride (12046-54-7) + magnesium oxide

Guidance literature:

In neat (no solvent); reagents mixed in a ratio of MgB2/reagent 9:1, annealed at 800°C;

DOI:10.1063/1.1433915

Reference yield:

boron + strontium → strontium hexaboride (12046-54-7)

Guidance literature:

In neat (no solvent); heating of Sr metal with B formed SrB6;;

Reference yield:

strontium(II) oxide (12035-89-1,1314-11-0) + boron trioxide → strontium hexaboride (12046-54-7)

Guidance literature:

In melt; byproducts: B; Electrolysis; electrolysis of a melt of SrO and B2O3 (1000 °C, 20 amp, 6.5 V, 2.5 h, cathode: coal crucible, anode: coal stick), the cold melt were broken and boiled with concd. hydrochloric acid for several times then with concd. HCl yields SrB6 mixed with B;;
