Reaction Chemistry of Boron Hydrides

Abstract

We have recently begun a program of boron chemistry in the chemistry division at NRL. Our initial efforts have involved investigations with the room temperature reactions of BH3 and BH with various oxidants and hydrocarbons. In conjunction with the gas phase experimental work, we are pursuing a computational study of the heats of formation of boron compounds and reaction energetics. In addition, there is a compound of the program emphasizing the heterogenous chemistry of boron oxides.
