M. Lamrani et al., FIRST EXAMPLES OF MIXED (ETA(5)-PYRROLYL) (DICARBOLLIDE) SANDWICH COBALTA-CARBORANES/, New journal of chemistry, 20(7-8), 1996, pp. 909-912
The first example of the icosahedral cobaltecinium mixed sandwich fami
ly incorporating eta(5)-pyrrolyl and dicarbollide [(eta(5)-NC4H4)Co(7-
R(1)-8-R(2)-7,8-C2B9H9)] was synthesized from eta(5)-pyrrolyl and the
corresponding dicarbollide cluster. The electrochemical behavior of [(
eta(5)-NC4H4)Co(7-CH3-8-C4H9-7,8-C2B9H9)] 3a is similar to that of [(e
ta(5)-C5H5)Co(C2B9H11)].
