Abstract

The gas-phase pyrolysis reactions of 1, 5-CzB3H5 and 1, 6-C2B4H6 in a hot/cold reactor (400/0 “C) were studied. In agreement with previous reports, major products of the pyrolysis of 1, 5-C2B3HS were found to be the boron-boron-linked dimer, 2: 2'-[1, 5-C2B3H4I2, and trimer, 2: 2', 3': 2”-[1, 5-C2B3H4][1', 5'-C2B3H3][1”, 5”-C2B3H4]. Also isolated from the reaction were a number of previously unknown compounds, including a boron-carbon- ...
