A method for preparing diborane by radical catalyzed reaction of trichloroborane and monosilane ts described. Experimental studies of various steps in the thermal conversion of diborane to pentaborane-11 are described. Physical properties of tetraborane-8 carbony-1 including vapor pressures, infrared spectrum, NMR spectrum, and mass spectrum are reported. Reaction of bridge labeled decaborane with acetonitrile released hydrogen of deuterium content corresponding closely to release of one bridge and one non-bridge proton. Reaction of bridge labeled decaborane with CH/sub 3/MgI produced approximately 25% CH/sub 3/D. A new amine dcrivative oi a borane has been obtained by treatment of (CH/sub 3/)/sub 3/NB/sub 3/H/sub 7/ with hydrogen chloride and diborane. (auth)
