Kinetics of Boron Hydride Interconversion Reactions

Abstract

This report describes progress that has been made during the Grant period in unravelling the complex series of gas-phase reactions that occur during the thermolysis of diborane. This has involved the application of a mass spectrometric technique developed in this laboratory to monitor initial rates of reaction and product distributions, leading to rate equations, orders of reaction, and energies of activation. Boron hydrides, Diborane, Tetraborane, Pentaborane, Hexaborane, Tetraborane, Carbonyl, Borane Interconversions, Borane Mechanisms, Borane Thermolysis.
