Notes:
The dissociation energy of boron hydride has been calculated ab initio using a very accurate theoretical model, with an expected accuracy of ±0.2 kcal mol−1. The values of 85.7 and 82.4 kcal mol−1 for De and D0, respectively, confirm the conclusion of Curtiss and Pople [J. Chem. Phys. 90, 2522 (1989)], that the predissociation limit of 82.6±0.4 kcal mol−1 might be close to the actual dissociation energy, and that an earlier proposed De of 78.9 kcal mol−1 is in error.
