Boranes are a class of chemical compounds that consist of boron and hydrogen. They are known for their unique bonding structures, where boron can form three-center two-electron bonds. This makes boranes interesting for various applications, including as reducing agents in organic chemistry and as potential fuel sources due to their high energy content. The simplest borane is borane (BH3), which is a colorless gas at room temperature. Boranes can also form more complex structures, such as decaborane (B10H14), which has a cluster-like arrangement. These compounds are studied for their reactivity and potential uses in materials science and nanotechnology.
