diborane

Diborane is a chemical compound made of two boron atoms and six hydrogen atoms, with the formula B₂H₆. It’s a colorless, highly reactive gas used mainly in chemical manufacturing. In diborane, some hydrogen atoms act in unusual ways, forming bridges between boron atoms through shared electron pairs, creating a unique structure. This compound plays a key role in producing materials like boron fibers and in various chemical reactions. Its reactivity and distinctive bonding make diborane an important, though specialized, substance in chemistry and industry.
