Abstract
The B11H14- anion and the first alkylated derivatives thereof have bee n prepared from B10H13- or 6-alkyl-B10H12-, respectively, and ClBH2.SM e2 in the presence of either ''proton sponge'', 1,8-bis(dimethylamino) napthalene, or sodium hydride. The mechanisms of insertion, with resp ect to the proton acceptor, appear to be slightly different. Single cr ystal X-ray analysis of the 7-Thx-B11H13- anion verifies the cluster g eometry deduced from B-11-B-11 COSY NMR.
