Pentaborane(9) is an inorganic compound with the formula B5H9. It is one of the most common boron hydride clusters, although it is a highly reactive compound

Pentaborane may refer to: Pentaborane(9) (B5H9) Pentaborane(11) (B5H11) This set index article lists chemical compounds articles associated with the same

relative to the heavily studied pentaborane(9) (B5H9). With two more hydrogen atoms than nido-pentaborane(9), pentaborane(11) is classified as an arachno-

of the molecule is Cs. A laboratory route begins with bromination of pentaborane(11) followed by deprotonation of the bromide to give [BrB5H7]−. This

C2B3H7. Relatively little work has been devoted to these compounds. Pentaborane[9] reacts with acetylene to give nido-1,2-C2B4H8. Upon treatment with

diborane gives hydrogen and diverse boron hydride clusters. For example, pentaborane was first prepared by pyrolysis of diborane at about 200 °C. Although
