DIBORANE By V.SWAROOP RAVI KUMAR
INTRODUCTION ABOUT DIBORANE Diborane is a chemical compound that consists of boron and hydrogen atoms and has a molecular formula B2H6. This substance is highly unstable at the room temperature with a sweet odour. The compounds consisting of boron and hydrogen atoms are called boranes. Diborane is one of the simplest boron hydrides.
The structure of Diborane molecule consists of four hydrogen atoms and that of two boron atoms coming on the same plane. In between these planes, there are said to be two dividing atoms of hydrogen. The boron atom is known to be sp3 hybridized and has four hybrid orbitals. From these four hybrid orbitals, three of the orbitals have one electron each, and of which one is an empty orbital. The two electrons of the hybrid orbitals in each of the boron atoms form 2 bonds with the 1s hydrogen atoms. The two atoms of boron left with that of each unpaired electron orbital and empty orbital forms the two bridgings (B H B) bonds with that of the two 1s hydrogen atoms, is also called as the banana bond.
