Explore: Boranes

Hybrids of boranes and hydrocarbons, the carboranes, are also a well developed class of compounds. The development of the chemistry of boranes led to innovations

Phosphine-boranes, with the formula R3−nHnPBH3, are adducts of organophosphines and borane. Borane adducts with amines are more widely used. Borane makes

and carbon; typically, they are organic derivatives of borane (BH3), as in the trialkyl boranes. Organoboranes and -borates enable many chemical transformations

conjuncto-boranes, where the sub-units are joined by a B-B bond, can be made by ultra violet irradiation of nido-boranes. Some B-B coupled conjuncto-boranes can

Borane carbonyl is the inorganic compound with the formula H3BCO. This colorless gas is the adduct of borane and carbon monoxide. It is usually prepared

William Nunn Lipscomb Jr. further confirmed the molecular structure of boranes using X-ray crystallography in the 1950s and developed theories to explain
