Abstract
A semitopological approach to the structures of boron hydrides is discussed in detail, as an extension of the equations of orbital and electron balance derived by Eberhardt, Crawford, and Lipscomb. This consistent set of principles gives the presently known boron hydrides whose frameworks are icosahedral fragments, and predicts (1) the hydrogen arrangement in B6H10, (2) that a stable B8 hydride will probably be either B8H12 or B8H14, (3) B9H13 should not exist, and (4) that no B7 hydride should exist.Keywords
