The Valence Structure of the Boron Hydrides
Abstract
A set of extended valence postulates is presented including the concept of the localized three-center bond. These postulates are applied systematically to the boron hydrides and account for their unusual geometry, their unexpected dipole moments, and the fact that they are not ``electron-deficient.''
