Pressure-Induced Transformations in Diborane: A Raman Spectroscopic Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
As a classical electron-deficient molecule with unique hydrogen bridge bonding, diborane has created considerable interest in the structural chemistry. We report here the first evidence of pressure-induced structural transformations of diborane probed by in situ Raman spectroscopy. At pressures around 4 GPa, diborane undergoes a liquid-solid phase transformation to a new high-pressure phase I with a possible structure similar to the low-temperature phase. When compressed to above 6 GPa, the spectral features, such as doubling of the lattice modes, appearance of several new internal modes, and emergence of a new ring stretch mode, indicate the structural transformation to another new high-pressure phase II. This phase has a possible extended network structure of higher hydrides of borane. At pressures above 14 GPa, diborane transforms to yet another high-pressure phase III. All of the observed pressure-induced structural transformations are completely reversible upon decompression.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
