Nuclear magnetic resonance studies of boron carbides have focused primarily on the crystal structure of B/sub 12/C/sub 3/. /sup 11/B NMR measurements showed that many, if not all, (111) chains have (CBC) structure, rather than the (CCC) originally proposed for B/sub 12/C/sub 3/. Subsequent /sup 11/B measurements were not consistent with all-boron icosahedra, and suggested carbon substitution. Recent /sup 13/C measurements were interpreted as supporting the (B/sub 12/)(CCC) structure. The strength of the support was overestimated, and (B/sub 11/C) (CBC) does approximately as well.
