By contrast, the cluster B12H122- (dodecaborate), which has very similar empirical formula, forms robust salts.

Boron monohydride can be formed from borane carbonyl exposed to ultraviolet light.

[11] Boron monohydride is unstable in bulk and disappears quickly on a timescale of 20 ns when at a pressure of 20 Torr.

Boron monohydride appears to add onto double bonds in unsaturated organic compounds.

[2] Boron monohydride can take on the form of solid poly-borane(1) which spontaneously inflames in air.
