Numerous infrared and several Raman spectroscopic studies have followed in the ensuing years at ever increasing levels of spectral resolution. In parallel, <em>ab initio</em> computations of the underlying potential energy surface have progressed as well as the methods to calculate the anharmonic vibration dynamics beyond the double harmonic approximation. Nevertheless, even 70 years after the bridge structure of diborane was established, there are still significant discrepancies between experiment and theory for the fundamental vibrational frequencies of diborane. In this work we use parahydrogen (pH<sub>2</sub>) matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy to characterize six fundamental vibrations of B<sub>2</sub>H<sub>6</sub> and B<sub>2</sub>D<sub>6</sub> and compare them with results from configuration-selective vibrational configuration interaction theory. The calculated frequencies and intensities are in very good agreement with the pH<sub>2</sub> matrix isolation spectra, even several combination bands are well reproduced.
