9-VERTEX POLYHEDRAL MONOTHIABORANE CHEMISTRY - THE 1ST NIDO THIANONABORANE - ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION BY NMR OF THE [NIDO-9-SB8H9]- ANION, AND ITS CONVERSION TO COMPOUNDS OF THE 6-L-ARACHNO-4-SB8H10 SERIES (WHERE L=SME2 AND PYRIDINE)
J. Holub et al., 9-VERTEX POLYHEDRAL MONOTHIABORANE CHEMISTRY - THE 1ST NIDO THIANONABORANE - ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION BY NMR OF THE [NIDO-9-SB8H9]- ANION, AND ITS CONVERSION TO COMPOUNDS OF THE 6-L-ARACHNO-4-SB8H10 SERIES (WHERE L=SME2 AND PYRIDINE), Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 59(2), 1994, pp. 367-373
Deprotonation of 6(exo)-(SMe2)-arachno-4-SB8H10 either by sodium hydri
de or sodium metal leads to the isolation in high-yield of the [nido-9
-SB8H9]- anion, which has been characterized by B-11 and H-1 NMR spect
roscopy. The nido anion can be reconverted to compounds of the 6(exo)-
L-arachno-4-SB8H10 series (where L = SMe2 and pyridine) by reaction wi
th Lewis bases (L) followed by acidification with trifluoroacetic acid
