The atoms in the modifications of boron and in the higher borides are preferably arranged in icosahedra or related structural units. In spite of the strong intra‐icosahedral bond strength, the crystals cannot be considered as molecular crystals, since the inter‐icosahedral bond strengths are comparable or even stronger. While the acoustic vibrations are mainly determined by the anisotropic but averaged crystal properties, the optical vibrations demand the consideration of the detailed atomic arrangement and bonding within the actual lattice. The possible optical‐active and Raman‐active phonons of alpha‐rhombohedral boron, beta‐rhombohedral boron, and boron carbide obtained by analysis of symmetry properties and group theoretical methods, are compared with the spectra obtained experimentally, and with theoretical calculations. Main portions of the lattice vibration spectra originate from vibrations of the icosahedron nearly symmetrically split in the actual crystal field, and consequently by the intericosa...
