Microwave spectrum of borinic acid BH2OH

Article abstract of DOI:10.1063/1.440947

The microwave spectrum of BH2OH, a transient intermediate in the reaction between diborane and water, has been detected and analyzed.This molecule has also been found in the reaction between diborane and oxygen.The lifetime of BH2OH in a copper waveguide cell is a few seconds, which is much shorter than that of BH(OH)2.The rotational and centrifugal distortion constants have been getermined for the ¹¹BH2OH, ¹⁰BH2OH, ¹¹BD2OD< and ¹¹BH2 ¹⁸OH species.From the rotational constants the molecular structure has been determined as r(B-O) = 1.352(4) Angstroem, r(O-H) = 0.967(14) Angstroem, <*>BOH = 112.0(17)deg, <*>H_cBO = 121.8(8)deg, and<*>H_tBO = 117.2(8) deg, the r(B-H) = 1200 Angstroem being assumed.For the normal species, the dipole moments have been determined as μ_a = 0.497(7)D, μ_b = 1.423(15)D, and μ_total = 1.506 D.The quadrupole coupling constants have also been determined.
