Diborane Structure (B2H6) : bridge bonds .

The structure of the diborane is shown in figure.The four terminal hydrogen atoms and the two boron atoms lie in one plane. Above and below this plane, there are two bridging hydrogen atoms. The four terminal B-H bonds are regular two centre-two electron bonds while the two bridge (B-H-B) bonds are different and can be described in terms of three centric two electron bond (3C -2e Bond).
