Description

Possibility of destruction of the infinite random network in vitreous B2O3 is studied within the framework of a cluster approximation using a semiempiric MNDO scheme. Boroxol ring rupture with the formation of fragments containing terminal O=B groups with double bonds between boron and oxygen atoms is shown to require a minimum expenditure of energy. Higher energy input is required to produce fragments with unpaired electrons. Vibrational spectra of the most probable fragments which are generated on destruction of the infinite random network in vitreous B2O3 are calculated. 16 refs., 1 fig., 8 tabs
