Boron monoxide (B2O) is a chemical compound of boron and oxygen. Two experimental studies have proposed existence of diamond-like and graphite-like B2O as for boron nitride and carbon solids. However a later systematic experimental study of boron oxide phase diagram suggests that B2O is unstable. The instability of the graphite-like B2O phase was also predicted theoretically.
