MACROPOLYHEDRAL BORON-CONTAINING CLUSTER CHEMISTRY - AN INTERESTING ANGULAR CHANGE IN RELATIVE SUBCLUSTER ORIENTATION IN THE OXIDATIVE PROTONATION OF [S2B17K18](-) TO [S2B17H17]
T. Jelinek et al., MACROPOLYHEDRAL BORON-CONTAINING CLUSTER CHEMISTRY - AN INTERESTING ANGULAR CHANGE IN RELATIVE SUBCLUSTER ORIENTATION IN THE OXIDATIVE PROTONATION OF [S2B17K18](-) TO [S2B17H17], INORGANIC CHEMISTRY COMMUNICATIONS, 1(5), 1998, pp. 179-181
Treatment of the macropolyhedral double-cluster anion [S2B17H18](-) wi
th oxidising acids quantitatively generates neutral [S2B17H17], charac
terised as its anion [S2B17H16](-). A significant change of similar to
34 degrees in the mutual orientation of the two sub-clusters is assoc
iated with this two-electron oxidation. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
