X-ray diffraction data have been used in compiling equilibrium phase diagra
ms for the Lu - Cr - B and Lu - Mo - B systems at 1270 K. The boride LuB2 d
issolves not more than 0.03 molar part of CrB2 and 0.30 molar part of MoB2.
The existence of compound LuCrB4 is confirmed (structure of YCrB4 type) an
d the same for Lu2MoB6 (structure of Y2ReB6 type). A homogencity region is
identified for the boride Lu2MoB6, which ranges up to the composition LuMoB
4.
