Decaborane

Description:

Decaborane, with the chemical formula B10H14, is a boron hydride that consists of ten boron atoms and fourteen hydrogen atoms. It is a colorless, crystalline solid at room temperature and is known for its unique structure, which features a cluster of boron atoms arranged in a polyhedral configuration. Decaborane is highly reactive and can ignite spontaneously in air, making it a substance of interest in pyrotechnics and rocket propellants. It has a relatively low melting point and is soluble in organic solvents such as benzene and toluene. Due to its boron content, decaborane is also studied for its potential applications in neutron capture therapy and as a precursor for boron-based materials. However, it is important to handle decaborane with caution due to its toxicity and potential health hazards upon exposure. Its chemical properties, including its ability to form stable complexes with various metals, make it a subject of research in materials science and inorganic chemistry.
