Subject: Q: diborane - ab initio and all

Dear fellow CCLers,

1) It would be wonderful if someone
  could point out at the ab initio and
  other calculations of DIBORANE.

2) Also, the references on spectroscopical
   and any other experimental studies
   will be highly desirable.

3) But perhaps the most demanding
  request is this: any references to studies
  of the dissociation of diborane
  (especially in presence of other molecules
   as environment, for instance of helium)
   would be welcome !

The daunting task here is to try 
to submit to calculation the process
of muon-minus capture by diborane and 
accompanying process of deborane's dissociation.

Of course, the codes will be written anew
- no one expects existence of standard program
for this distinctly non-trivial problem.
However, it's better to gather at the beginning
as much information as possible.
We are doing that right now and will
highly appreciate help!

Sincerely,
Ayaz Bakasov.
