Abstract
The electronic structure of the metallic borides
M
B
6
is investigated theoretically by the tight-binding approximation. The stability of the crystal lattice is interpreted and it is predicted that if
M
is a bivalent metal the crystal should be an insulator or photoconductor, but that if
M
has a valency greater than 2 the crystal should exhibit metallic conductivity. These predictions are consistent with the scanty experimental evidence.
