Abstract

An efficient method for the synthesis of M₂B₁₀H₁₄ (M = Na and K) has been developed. The two possible formation mechanisms of the B₁₀H₁₄²⁻ anion are proposed, in which the NH₂BH₃⁻ anion acts as a proton abstractor and a hydride donor. Furthermore, the B₁₀H₁₃⁻ and B₁₀H₁₅⁻ intermediates were detected.
