Banana Bond or 3C-2e Bond or Bridge bond or structure of B2H6 and Al2(CH3)6:

(1) Formation of 3C-2e bond in B₂H₆ is best explain by MOT and total number of bond in B₂H₆ is 6 (3C-2e=2 and 3C-4e=4)

(2) Bridge bonds are longer than terminal bond because at bridge bonds electrons are delocalized at three centres

(3) Bond energy (441kj/mole) of B-H-B bond is greater than bond energy (381 K j/mole) of   B-H bond.

(4) Hybridization of B atom is sp3, so non planer, and non polar (U=0)

(5)  B₂H₆ Methylated up to B₂H₂ Me₄

(6) B₂H₆ is hypovalent molecule hence act as Lewis acid and undergoes two type of cleavage when react with Lewis base:

(A) UNSYMETRICAL CLEAVAGE: 

B₂H₆ Undergo unsymmetrical cleavage with small size strong Lewis base like NH₃ NH₂Me and NH (Me) ₂ etc.

(B) SYMETRICAL CLEAVAGE:

B₂H₆ undergoes symmetrical cleavage with large size weak Lewis base like PH₃, PF₃,Me₃N , OEt , OMe₃, pyridine , THF , Thiophene , SMe₂ ,Set₂
