Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

Borane is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula BH3. Because it tends to dimerize or form adducts, borane is very rarely observed. It normally dimerizes to diborane 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. Borane is the simplest group 13 hydride.
