Title: Reaction of hexaborane(10) with excess trimethylphosphine
Abstract: Bis(trimethylphosphine)-hexaborane(10), B6H10·2P(CH3)3, reacted with trimethylphosphine and gave a solid with the total composition “B6H10·6P(CH3)3” which consisted of twice the number of moles of the original B6H10·2P(CH3)3. The solid was inert to excess P(CH3)3. When treated with HCl, it gave a 1:2 mixture of BH3·P(CH3)3 and BH2C1·P(CH3)3. The framework of B6H10·2P(CH3)3 appeared to be cleaved and converted by P(CH3)3 into B2H4·2P(CH3)3 and B4H6·4P(CH3)3, and into two B3H5·3P(CH3)3.
