The chemistry of the octahydrotriborate anion [B3H8]−

A theoretical study of the spectroscopic properties of B2H6 and of a series of BHyz− species (x = 1−12, y = 3−14, z = 0−2): From BH3 to B12

“…The chemistry of B 3 H − 8 has also been recently discussed in detail [3][4][5][6][7]. Many previous theoretical studies have addressed the structures and relative energies of different boron-hydrogen species [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

Properties and Applications of Metal (M) dodecahydro-closo-dodecaborates (Mn=1,2B12H12) and Their Implications for Reversible Hydrogen Storage in the Borohydrides

“…An approximate decomposition temperature (T dec ) is given for the sodium salt (Na n (B x H y ) n− ) of the given anion to allow for easy comparison between different species. [114] 100 (Ar flow) [113,118] Beyond their relevance to borohydride desorption, extensive independent investigation of the polyborane (B x H y /[B x H y ] n− ) cluster compounds has been conducted to clarify the details of their unusual structural chemistry and properties. A significant volume of both neutral and anionic boron hydride cluster compounds have been identified.…”

Thermal Dehydrogenation of Base‐Stabilized B2H5+ Complexes and Its Role in CH Borylation

“…Conversion of L 2 B 2 H 5 + ( 18 ) into L 2 B 3 H 6 + ( 20 ) is reminiscent of the processes observed in isostructural boron anions, such as formation of the stable σ‐aromatic B 3 H 8 − anion by thermolysis of B 2 H 7 − ,22 which is believed to proceed via the poorly known B 2 H 5 − 23. 24 Thermal dehydrogenation of 7 and 18 is thus expected to generate cationic analogues of B 2 H 5 − (i.e., 14 ), which subsequently stabilize either by intramolecular CH insertion (formation of 16 ) or BH 3 incorporation leading to L 2 B 3 H 6 + cations such as 20 .…”
