Va. Sergeev et al., OLIGOMERIC SALTS DERIVED FROM M-CARBORANE DICARBOXYLIC ACID AND DIVALENT METALS, Vysokomolekularnye soedinenia. Seria A, 38(8), 1996, pp. 1292-1296
Synthesis and properties of oligomeric salts of m-carboranedicarboxyli
c acid and divalent metals are described. It was shown that, upon heat
ing, these salts reduce its own metal ion to the metal, metal oxides t
o metal, and aromatic rings to cyclohexane rings. The reducing power o
f oligomeric salts is controlled by the oxidative ability of the metal
ion.
