Chemistry of Decaborane

While the chemistry of decaborane(14) has received considerable attention in the last decade because of the varied types of derivatives which can be produced, advances leading to the emergence of significant principles have also occurred in the chemistry of the lower boron hydrides. It now appears as if this area is on the verge of rapid development and expansion.
