Noun
diborane (uncountable)
(chemistry) boron hydride, B2H6, a colourless explosive gas with a nasty smell; it has an unusual structure in which two of the hydrogen atoms form a bridge between the two boron atoms
A trail of credit for the understanding the three-center two-electron bond follows: Over several decades the structure and bonding arrangement of diborane was gradually discovered by Dilthey, Price, and others. Source: Internet
In three-center two-electron bond a pair of electrons bonds three atoms (a boron atom at either end and a hydrogen atom in the middle), the diborane B-H-B bonds for example at the top and bottom of the illustrations. Source: Internet
Longuet-Higgins and Roberts employed a three-center two-electron bond as the correct way to understand bonding in diborane using a molecular orbital description similar to what the Lipscomb group found. Source: Internet
