Jh. Kim et al., FIRST TETRATHIOLATE-BRIDGED DINUCLEAR MOLYBDACARBABORANES - SCISSION AND FORMATION OF THE C-C CLUSTER BOND DURING OXIDATION PROCESSES, Chemical communications, (18), 1997, pp. 1761-1762
Unprecedented tetrathiolate-bridged dinuclear ionic molybdacarbaborane
s [(C2B9H11)Mo(SPh)(2)](2)(n-) (n = 2, 1) are prepared by successive o
xidation of [(C2B9H11)Mo-II-(CO)(2)(SPh)(2)](2-) with diphenyl disulfi
de and iodosylbenzene: X-ray crystal structure determinations and NMR
studies show unusual scission and reformation of the C-C carbaborane c
age bond.
