Abstract

Representative organoborane mixtures were quantitatively converted to their borohydrides through their reaction with activated KH (KH*), permitting their detailed analysis by 11B NMR. Through the treatment of commercial KH with a THF solution of lithium aluminum hydride (LAH), a dramatic change in the surface morphology results as revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Energy dispersed spectroscopy (EDS) was ...
