Boron Atom Matrix Chemistry

Abstract

Research has been done with pulsed-laser evaporated B, Be and Mg atoms and molecular hydrogen to explore the reactivities of these metals with He and to investigate infrared spectra of the product molecules in solid argon. The major products in the B/H2 system were BH, (H2)(BH), BH3, (H2)(BH3) and B2H6. It is clear that molecular hydrogen is complexed to BH and BH3 in these experiments
