Hexaborane(10)
Hexaborane, also called hexaborane(10) to distinguish it from hexaborane(12) (B6H12), is an inorganic compound with the formula B6H10. It is a colorless liquid that is unstable in air.[1]

Preparation and reactions
A laboratory route begins with bromination of pentaborane(11) followed by deprotonation or the bromide to give [BrB5H7]−. This anionic cluster is reduced with diborane to give the neutral product:[1]
- K[BrB5H7] + 1/2 B2H6 → KBr + B6H10
It can also be generated by pyrolysis of pentaborane(11).
B6H10 can be deprotonated to give [B6H9]− or protonated to give [B6H11]+.[1]
gollark: But they have inequality basically builtin so bee them.
gollark: There are proof of stake ones without that.
gollark: I consider current cryptocurrencies kind of apious, although it seems like the existing financial transaction system is awful and barely holds together, soooo...
gollark: 🐝❗🐝❗🐝❗🐝❗🐝❗🐝❗
gollark: IO contention?
