Solution
B2H6, B3N3H6
Explanation:
A compound X, of boron, reacts with NH3 on heating to give another compound YY which is called inorganic benzene.
\[\ce{\underset{X(Diborance)}{3H2H6} + 6NH3 -> 3[BH2(NH3)2]+ [BH4]- ->[heat] \underset{Y(Borazole Inorganic Benzene)}{2B3N3H6} + 12H2}\]
\[\ce{4BF3 + 3LiAlH4 -> \underset{X}{2B2H6} + 3LiF + 3AlF3}\]
