L-selectride is not the same as NaBH4

Thats correct, and therefore the article says: "The reagent known as L-Selectride, lithium tri-sec-butylborohydride),[...]" ChristianB 16:42, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Yep, many articles also cover closely related compounds that does not imply that the compounds are identical, I will recover the redirect. V8rik 17:13, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

While doing research in anticipation of working with this particular chemical, I've noticed that the MSDS sheets for Sigma-Aldrich (MSDS link at right), Arcos Organics and the chemistry department at Oxford list 400°C as the melting point (or decomposition point, I guess), with no boiling point. Can anyone confirm/deny/correct? William Ito 21:13, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

The NFPA-704 rating seems to be 3 in the latest edition of Bretherick's handbook. Do we know where the current information came from? Michael.A.Anthony (talk) 16:58, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 3D IMAGE OF NABH4

Could someone make a 3D image of this compound? I'd do it using Accelrys with Qutemol but, alas, I am using linux and my ATI Card won't correctly render in Qutmol.

Thanks in Advance,

[edit] Crystal structure

If anyone can find a paper on the crystal structure of NaBH4, I'll make an image of it.
