The physical characteristics of decaborane(14) resemble those of the organic compounds, such as naphthalene and anthracene, in that it can be sublimed under vacuum at moderate temperatures. Sublimation is the common method of purification.
So as we are working in a vacuum, possibly heating isn’t required at all.
I think at the 10-40torr or so pressure FoFu will be operating you’ll need to warm it slightly to sublimate it. You also want the rest of the chamber warmed, as it would condense on room temperature surfaces & leave residues everywhere.
