<i>In situ</i> high-pressure study of diborane by infrared spectroscopy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
As the simplest stable boron hydride in its condensed phase, diborane exhibits an interesting structural chemistry with uniquely bridged hydrogen bonds. Here we report the first room-temperature infrared (IR) absorption spectra of solid diborane compressed to pressures as high as 50 GPa using a diamond anvil cell. At room temperature and 3.5 GPa, the IR spectrum of diborane displays rich sharply resolved fundamentals and overtones of the IR active bands, consistent with the previous low-temperature IR measurements of condensed diborane at ambient pressure. When compressed stepwise to 50 GPa, several structural transformations can be identified at pressures of approximately 3.5 GPa, approximately 6.9 GPa and approximately 14.7 GPa, as indicated by the changes in the band profile as well as the pressure dependence of the characteristic IR modes and bandwidths. These transformations can be interpreted as being enhanced intermolecular interactions resulting from compression. The geometry of the four-member ring of B(2)H(6), however, does not seem to be altered significantly during the transformations and the B(2)H(6) molecule remains chemically stable up to 50 GPa.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
