The distinct feature of the chemical bonding of boron solids is three-center or icosahedral bonding. The consequences of this peculiar bonding on the lattice dynamics are discussed in terms of the central and noncentral forces, while the recent development in this field is reviewed. The character of

โฆ Synopsis
The e4ects of the geometries of boron-rich solids on dynamical properties are discussed. Traditionally, it has been thought that the intericosahedral bond is stronger than the intraicosahedral bond. In the past, questions concerning this understanding have arisen, based on experimental results. Some of the apparent contradictions can be solved by considering the special geometries of the icosahedron-based structure. The geometrical concept is examined for elastic responses, librational modes, and anharmonic phenomena. An attempt has also been made to address the problem of the strength of the chain bond in boron carbides by ab initio calculations. Based on the present results, a model has been proposed to solve contradictions among experimental results.
