Abstract

We propose the molecules B₁₂N₁₂, B₂₄N₂₄ and B₆₀N₆₀ (named us as fulborenes) in the capacity of boron nitride analogues of the fullerenes. Ten possible crystals built from these molecules (named us as fulborenites) are predicted, including `superdense diamond', and their lattice parameters and densities are calculated. Comparison with explosive experiments allow us to identify the simple cubic fulborenite B₁₂N₁₂ with intermediate phase of BN. Multiwalled BN-nanotubes are produced by carbothermal synthesis, and their structure are studied by TEM, x-ray spectral microanalysis and molecular dynamic techniques.
