Thermal and thermomechanical properties of trialkylammonium dodecahydro-closo-dodecaborates (R3NH)2[B12H12] (R = Et, Вu)

This work is devoted to specific features of the thermal and thermomechanical properties of trialkylammonium salts of the [B12H12]2– anion (R3NH)2 [B12H12], where R = Et, Вu, and is of fundamental importance for the development of composite materials with an increased boron content. The results are given in comparison with similar data for (Et3NH)2[B10H10].
