Borane
open-in-new
<p>Borane is an <a href="/facts/Inorganic_compound/TfFfzxSz">inorganic compound</a> with the <a href="/facts/Chemical_formula/hghUtthl">chemical formula</a> <a href="/facts/Boron/Pmwgd7Mf">B</a><a href="/facts/Hydrogen/BoYHjl0J">H</a>3. Because it tends to dimerize or form <a href="/facts/Adduct/vBpTmotm">adducts</a>, borane is very rarely observed. It normally <a href="/facts/Dimerizes/mU64PnEq">dimerizes</a> to <a href="/facts/Diborane/k7egwbPf">diborane</a> in the absence of other chemicals. It can be observed directly as a continuously produced, transitory, product in a flow system or from the reaction of laser ablated atomic boron with hydrogen. </p>
