Abstract

Boron binds strongly to oxygen and the halogens to form a variety of oxides, halides, and oxyhalides. Thus boron atoms, boron monoxide, and boron subhalides are capable of very exothermic abstraction reactions with a variety of oxidizing agents. Until recently, however, nothing was known about the rates of any of these reactions, except for some published estimated rate coefficients' and some indirect inferences provided by studies of the ...
