Abstract

Polymeric adducts, [B10H12L∼∼L]x, have been prepared by reaction of B10H14 with diphosphines and diamines. These show good promise as precursors whose pyrolysis can give either boron carbide (in the case of the diphosphine polymers) or boron carbonitride and boron nitride (in the case of the diamine polymers).
