Abstract

Experimental evidence for the structure of the isoelectronic radical ions, C2H6 + and B2H6 -, is reviewed and discussed. Recent E.S.R. data for the anion B2H6 - are analysed and the results are interpreted to favour a staggered D 3d structure rather than the bridged D 2h structure of the parent molecule. Ab initio unrestricted Hartree-Fock calculations after quartet state annihilation on B2H6 - support this conclusion.
