✦ Synopsis


The paths of correlated internal disrotation barrier less than 0.4 . Ž . kcalrmol and conrotation barrier around 1.9 kcalrmol of the two BH groups 2 w Ž . x in H BCH BH have been computed employing ab initio MP2 full r6᎐31G** 2 2 2 Ž . and density functional theory Becke3LYPr6᎐311qG** methods. Two Ž . B-C иии B p hyperconjugative interactions stabilize the C symmetric s Ž . Ž . H BCH BH isomer 1 . The B-C иии B p hyperconjugative stabilization, 2 2 2 evaluated by homodesmotic reactions and using the orbital deletion procedure Ž . which ''deactivates'' the '' vacant'' born p orbital , is less than 6 kcalrmol in Ž . diborylmethane. The B-C иии B p stabilization is shown to be remarkably large Ž . Ž . in C B H Td . At MP2 fu r6᎐31G**, disproportionation into 1 and methane 4 6 10 is only 5.6 kcalrmol exothermic. The 1,3 H exchange in diborylmethane is an asynchronous process and proceeds via a doubly bridged cyclic intermediate with 9.3 kcalrmol barrier. Structures with ''planar tetracoordinate'' carbon are stabilized considerably by BH substituents, but they are still high in energy.

An alternative mechanism of mercaptoborane, BH,SH, formation is proposed for the reaction of BzHs with SH2. It involves concerted elimination of BH3 and H2 from the H2SB2Hs complex and the highest energy on the pathway relative to SH, + B2H6 is 27.4 kcal/mol at MP4(SDTQ)/6-31 +G(2d, p)//MP2(FULL)/6\
