Boranes are a class of chemical compounds that consist of boron and hydrogen. They are known for their unique bonding structures, where boron atoms can form clusters with hydrogen atoms. Boranes are often used in various applications, including as reducing agents in organic chemistry and as fuel in rocket propulsion due to their high energy content. The simplest borane is borane (BH3), which is a gas at room temperature. More complex boranes, such as decaborane (B10H14), have multiple boron atoms and exhibit interesting properties. These compounds are also studied for their potential use in materials science and nanotechnology.
