The similarity between aluminum and beryl-lium suggests that diborane, which reacts with trimethylaluminum to producealuminum borohydride, A1B3H12, might behave in similar fashion toward dimethylberyllium. Not only does the reaction in question actually lead to the formation of a stable compound of molecular formula Be-B2H8, but it proceeds in such a way that it is possible to recognize the existence ofintermediate steps and to isolateby-products which are of im-portance in elucidating the chemical character of these metallo borohydrides. The first product of the reaction between di-borane and dimethylberyllium is a glassy material rich in methyl groups. The next stage is a non-volatile, mobile liquid. Further treatment with diborane leads to an unstable, easily sublimable solid which has a composition approximating the formula CH3BeBH4. This material reacts vigorously with additional diborane to give the volatile final product BeB2H8 and a small amount of a non-volatile by-product which appears to be (Be-
