The Boron Hydride Structures

The various times when a given structure is guessed correctly, given some support from experiment, convincingly proved by experiment, and 

The structures and significant details of the molecular geometry are summarized in Figs. 1 to 7. Since the previous summary, the full microwave study of BbH9 has appeared (37). The slightly low X-ray

A structural perspective gave rise to predictions about reasonable rearrangement pathways for polyhedral molecules. He also measured isomerizations that confirmed the predictions. The calculations that describe the boron hydride structures also gave basis for predicting which atoms would be most reactive. These predictions stimulated much synthetic chemistry.
