“…Boron and carbon were determined in alkyldecaboranes and related compounds by a wet combustion. Boron is oxidized to boric acid by alkaline persulfate, followed by titration with barium hydroxide in the presence of mannitol (41)• Another procedure for organoboron compounds consists of measuring with a pH meter in the presence of mannitol, the amount of boric acid formed by the oxidation of the compounds by sodium peroxide (90). Six procedures for determining boron in a wide variety' of compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, bromine, and phosphorus were studied.…”
