contents We consider Einstein gravity coupled to two Maxwell fields and one dilatonic scalar, and construct spherically-symmetric and static black holes that are charged under both Maxwell fields in general $D$ dimensions. We find that for suitable dilaton couplings, the equations of motion can be cast into one-dimensional Toda equations of all rank-2 Lie groups. We devise a brute-force approach to obtain the most general but remarkably elegant solutions to the Toda equations. This allows us to construct exact black holes associated with all the rank-2 Lie groups. We study their thermodynamics and verify explicitly an earlier claim in the literature that all these thermodynamic quantities can be derived without having to solve for these black hole solutions.
