STRUCTURES AND MOLECULAR MODELS OF BORON HYDRIDES

OSTI ID:4309914
The structures of the boron hydrides have only recently been established. The fact that boron has but three valence electrons makes the configurations of these compounds anique in many ways. With one exception, however, the boron skeleton of the known boron hydrides can be considered as related to the atomic arrangement in elementary boron and certain borides; namnely, a regular icosahedron. The structures of the known boron hydrides have been reviewed, and a type of molecular model has been developed for diborane, tetraborane, pentaborane(9), pentaborane(11), hexaborane(10), and decaborane. The scheme is expandable to other hydrides, such as triborane(7) and nonaborane(15). (auth)
