Abstract: The mechanism for the gas phase ion molecule reaction B2H - 3+CS2B2H3S-+CShas been investigated theoretically by using the B3LYP/6311++G( d,p ) and the high level electron correlation CCSD(T)/6311++G( d,p ) single point levels. It is shown that the B2H3- anion may attack the carbon atom of CS2 to form a three membered ring intermediate followed by a Hshift and subsequently a CSextrusion steps to reach the final dissociation product H3BBS-+CS. The reaction is largely exothermic and no activation energy is needed for this three membered ring mechanism. On the other hand, an activation barrier is found for the sulfur atom abstraction reaction initiated by the sulfur attack of B2H3- towards CS2. The calculated results presented in this paper may be helpful for understanding the chemical behavior of electron deficient boron hydride anions such as B2H3-, B3H6- and B4H7- , etc..
