Synthesis of zirconium boride, ZrB 2 , from zirconium borohydride, Zr(BH 4 ) 4 , has been explored by a variety of methods, including chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in a hot tube, laser CVD with both continuous‐wave (cw) and pulsed lasers, and cw‐laser synthesis of fine powders. In all cases, ZrB 2 was the only crystalline product identified. Products made at high temperature contained excess boron, while those made at low temperature were boron‐deficient.
