Boranes

Boranes are a group of chemical compounds composed of boron and hydrogen atoms. They often form with boron atoms linked together in various structures, such as clusters or chains, stabilized by hydrogen atoms. Boranes are notable for their unique bonding and geometry, which differ from typical molecules. They are used in chemistry for applications like inorganic synthesis, as fuel sources in some advanced contexts, and in materials science. Due to their reactive nature, handling boranes requires careful safety measures, but they are valuable for understanding bonding and structure in complex inorganic compounds.
