Reaction of Halogens with Laser-Ablated Boron. Infrared Spectra of BXn (X = F, Cl, Br, I; n = 1, 2, 3) in Solid Argon

BXn (X = F, Cl, Br, I; n = 1, 2, 3) species were produced by the reaction of laser-ablated atomic boron with F2, Cl2, Br2, and I2, trapped in solid argon at 12 +/- 1 K, and characterized by infrared absorption spectroscopy.The relative band intensities observed for BX , BX2, and BX3 species depended on the method of production.Enclosing the boron target inside a tube and codepositing boron atoms with halogen molecules enhanced the primary reaction products BX and BX2, whereas passing the halogen through the tube and coaxially mixing with atomic boron promoted the final reaction product BX3.Very low laser power favored the BX and BX2 radicals over the BX3 molecules.These studies provide further chemical evidence for the intermediate BX2 radicals.

Preparation and some reactions of difluoroborane

Difluoroborane is produced by the direct interaction of boron trifluoride with diborane in the gas phase at 100° or above. Pyrolysis of BF3-B2H6 mixtures at 250° for periods of 30 min to 1 hr, followed by rapid quenching,
