10-VERTEX POLYHEDRAL DICARBABORANE CHEMISTRY - NEW POSITIONAL ISOMERSOF CLUSTER CONSTITUENTS IN THE 10-VERTEX ARACHNO DICARBABORANE FAMILY- THE PARENT [ARACHNO-5,10-C2B8H13]- ANION AND THE ISOMERIC LIGAND DERIVATIVES EXO-9-L-ARACHNO-5,6-C2B8H12 AND EXO-6-L-ARACHNO-5,10-C2B8H12
J. Holub et al., 10-VERTEX POLYHEDRAL DICARBABORANE CHEMISTRY - NEW POSITIONAL ISOMERSOF CLUSTER CONSTITUENTS IN THE 10-VERTEX ARACHNO DICARBABORANE FAMILY- THE PARENT [ARACHNO-5,10-C2B8H13]- ANION AND THE ISOMERIC LIGAND DERIVATIVES EXO-9-L-ARACHNO-5,6-C2B8H12 AND EXO-6-L-ARACHNO-5,10-C2B8H12, Inorganica Chimica Acta, 221(1-2), 1994, pp. 5-7
Ammonia and primary amines (L = NH3 and NH2Prn) react with nido-5,6-C2
B8H12 in dichloromethane at ambient temperature to give the ligand der
ivatives exo-9-L-arachno-5,6-C2B8H12, whereas tertiary amines (L = NEt
3 and NBun3) afford the isomeric compounds exo-6-L-arachno-5,10-C2B8H1
2; parent anion [arachno-5,10-C2B8H13]- is prepared from the reaction
between exo-6-(NEt3)-arachno-5,10-C2B8H12 and sodium metal in thf.
