BORON HYDRIDES, HETEROBORANES, AND THEIR METALLA DERIVATIVES

BORON HYDRIDES, HETEROBORANES, AND THEIR METALLA DERIVATIVES 

The first definitive studies of boron hydrides were carried out by Alfred Stock in Germany starting about 1912 (1). Through extensive and now classic synthetic studies, the field of boron hydride chemistry was founded with the isolation of a series of highly reactive, air-sensitive, and volatile compounds of general composition and This accomplishment required the development of basic vacuum line techniques for the 

The nomenclature of boron hydride derivatives has been somewhat confusing and many inconsistencies exist in the Hterature. The stmctures of some reported boron hydride clusters are so compHcated that only a stmctural drawing or graph, often accompanied by explanatory text, is used to describe them. Traditional nomenclature systems often can be used to describe compounds unambiguously, but the resulting descriptions may be so long and unwieldy that they are of Htde use. The lUPAC (7) and the Chemical Abstract Service (8) have made recommendations, and nomenclature methods have now been developed that can adequately handle nearly all clusters compounds however, these methods have yet to be widely adopted. Eor the most part, nomenclature used in the original Hterature is retained herein.
