Two new ternary tantalum borides, Ta2OsB2 and TaRuB, discovered.
Boron dumbbells are the strongest bonds in Ta2OsB2 and TaRuB.
Peierls distortion responsible for Os2-dumbbells formation in Ta2OsB2.
Ta2OsB2 and TaRuB are Pauli paramagnet.
Ta2OsB2 and TaRuB contain pseudogaps and are potential superconductors.
