Diborane: Properties, Reactions, and Structure

Diborane is a chemical compound that consists of boron and hydrogen atoms, and has a molecular formula B²H⁶. This substance is highly unstable at room temperature. The compounds consisting of boron and hydrogen atoms are called boranes. Diborane is one of the simplest borane hydrides.

Methods of Preparation:

  1. When boron trifluoride is treated with Li or sodium hydride in ethereal solution, B2H6 is formed. 2BF3 + 6LiH – ether – 6LiF + B2H6. 2BF3 + 6NaOH – ether – 6NaOH + B2H6.
  2. B2H6 is obtained from

Properties of Copper Alloys, Nickel, Magnesium, Aluminum, and Annealing

Copper Alloys

Copper alloys: Great ductility without allowing thanks to that can be easily cold worked and matching not so easy. Corrosion resistance is outstanding in most normal environment. Mechanical properties are quite limited and they can improved with alloying materials. Most copper alloys cannot be hardened or strengthened by heat-treating procedures, cold working or solid solution to improve mechanical properties. Brass: copper + zinc. Alpha phase stable up to 35%. FCC crystal structure
