The Boron name was used outside of Ohio in neighboring states, like Michigan, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and West Virginia. Boron was also the branding of its premium grade gasoline along with its regular grade fuel "Extron" (formerly "Ex-tane" later "Octron") and its unleaded version "Cetron" introduced in 1970.

Triethylborane is strongly pyrophoric, with an autoignition temperature of −20 °C (−4 °F), [13] burning with an apple-green flame characteristic for boron compounds. Thus, it is typically handled and stored using air-free techniques.
The strongest line in the infrared spectrum is at 1330 cm −1 followed by lines at 3010 cm −1 and 1185 cm −1. Its melting point is −161.5 °C, and its boiling point is −20.2 °C. Vapour pressure is given by log P = 6.1385 + 1.75 log T − 1393.3/ T − 0.007735 T , where T is temperature in kelvins . [ 5 ]
Gulf Oil was a major global oil company in operation from 1901 to 1985. [1] The eighth-largest American manufacturing company in 1941 and the ninth largest in 1979, Gulf Oil was one of the Seven Sisters oil companies.
Esso, along with its sister brands Exxon and Mobil, are official long-term recommended gasoline of two Volkswagen Group marques (mainly Bentley and Porsche), all Toyota Group marques and subsidiaries (including Toyota, Lexus, Daihatsu, Hino, and Perodua, shared with Petron) and General Motors marques and subsidiaries (including Chevrolet ...
In general terms, boron-enhanced fuels offer up to 40% higher energy density than plain JP-4 in terms of both weight and volume. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] In the US a whole family of fuels were investigated, and generally referred to by the names they were assigned during the Air Force's Project HEF: HEF-1 (ethyldiborane), HEF-2 (propylpentaborane), HEF-3 ...
A fun note, in 2010 the Ohio State University student-built Buckeye Bullet 2, a fuel cell vehicle built in collaboration with Monaco-based Venturi Automobiles and equipped with a Ballard fuel cell, set a FIA world speed record for electric vehicles in reaching 307.7 mph (495.2 km/h), eclipsing the previous record of 245.5 mph (395.1 km/h). The ...
Catecholborane may be used as a stereoselective reducing agent when converting β-hydroxy ketones to syn 1,3-diols. Catecholborane oxidatively adds to low valent metal complexes, affording boryl complexes .
