Abstract
The cohesive properties and chemical stability of diborides MB2 have been analysed using the results of full-potential LMTO calculations. A comparison of interatomic M–M, M–B and B–B interactions in MB2 phases (M = Ti, V, Zr, Nb) shows that the changes in the cohesive properties are mainly controlled by the strength of the covalent M–B bonds.
