An e.s.r. study of the triborane(7) radical anion
Abstract
The radical anion of triborane(7), B3H7·–, has been generated in solution by abstraction of hydrogen from B3H8– and studied by e.s.r. spectroscopy; MNDO–UHF calculations suggest that B3H7·– has a cyclic C2v structure with a single bridging hydrogen.
