BORON POLYMERS
Abstract
Pentaborane enters into a variety of reactions which are, in general, complex and sensitive to minor variations in stoichiometry and method. Exploratory experiments with B10H10= derivatives showed that B10H9- ligand compounds can be formed by reactions of the di-cation with diarylchlorophosphine. Improvements in the preparation of some of the difunctional B10H12 ligand compounds previously reported were made. Three polymers arising from these monomers were prepared. Results of some preliminary evaluations are encouraging in that films and coatings can be made. Phenylphosphine and boron trichloride enter into a vigorous but ill-defined reaction apparently involving the formation of a -P-B- polymer. In allied studies it seems that phenyldichlorophosphine and diborane will undergo hydrogen-chlorine interchange. (Author)
