Abstract
The author of the comment and the authors of the paper speak about different things. The paper considered the structure of a fragment of the boron carbide structure. The results of quantum-chemical calculations were compared with the structure of the analogous fragments of boron carbide single crystals and their derivatives. The author of the comment analyzed the structure of polycrystals only on the basis of their IR and Raman spectral studies.
