Editing Pyrolysis (section)

===Fine chemical synthesis===
Pyrolysis is used in the production of chemical compounds, mainly, but not only, in the research laboratory.

The area of boron-hydride clusters started with the study of the pyrolysis of [[diborane]] ({{chem|B|2|H|6}}) at ca. 200&nbsp;°C.  Products include the clusters  [[pentaborane]] and [[decaborane]]. These pyrolyses involve not only cracking (to give {{chem|H|2}}), but also re[[condensation]].<ref>{{cite book |doi=10.1016/C2009-0-30414-6 |title=Chemistry of the Elements |date=1997 |isbn=978-0-7506-3365-9 }}{{pn|date=March 2025}}</ref>
