To deliver B³⁺ ions for medical research the compounds decaborane and m-carborane were tested using the metal ions from volatile compounds (MIVOC) method with the Supernanogan 14.5 GHz ECR ion source. Using decaborane the source delivered less than 10 uA intensity of B³⁺ and after operation large deposits of material were found inside the source. Using m-carborane 50 uA of B³⁺ were delivered without support gas. For both compounds Helium and Oxygen support gasses were also tested, and the effects of different source tuning parameters are discussed. The average consumption of m-Carborane was 0.1 mg/uAh over all operation.
