To clarify the toxicity of diborane, we conducted acute (15 ppm for 1, 2, 4 or 8 h) and subacute (5 ppm for 2 or 4 weeks) inhalation studies on ICR mice. The concentration resulting in a 50% kill after

In previous works we have shown that certain pi-conjugated organic molecules possess nontotally symmetric vibrations that break the maximum hardness (MHP) and minimum polarizability principles (MPP). We have also derived a set of simple rules to determine a priori without

Toxic gases are among the most dangerous materials used in manufacturing semiconductors and related devices. The storage, handling, and disposal of these gases pose a major hazard to workers and to communities located near high-technology companies. It must be anticipated

Changes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and blood were examined to assess the toxic effects of diborane (B2H6, CAS: 19287-45-7) on the lung. Male Wistar rats were exposed to diborane at 20 ppm (intended concentration) for 4 h (phase I

Carbon- and boron-oxide-encapsulated iron nanocapsules have been synthesized by arc discharge in methane (CH4) and diborane (B2H6) atmospheres respectively. The characterization and magnetic properties of carbon- and boron-oxide-encapsulated iron nanocapsules [abbreviated as Fe(C) and Fe(B) respectively] were investigated and compared.
