Zusammenfassung:Since the discovery of boron hydrides (boranes) by Stock in 1912, these compounds have played a major role in advancing chemical bonding theory beyond the classical idea of two-center two-electron bonds. Longuet-Higgins and Lipscomb et al. first put forward the concept of three-center two-electron bonding to explain the structures of all known boron hydrides, in which the bridging B-H-B bond appeared to be the key structural unit. This represents a milestone in establishing the validity of the molecular orbital theory.
