SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE 9-ATOM, RHENA-BORANES AND TUNGSTA-BORANES (CP-ASTERISK-RE)(2)B7H7 AND (CP-ASTERISK-W)(2)B7H9, CP-ASTERISK = ETA(5)-C5ME5 - MOLECULAR MIMICS OF HYPOELECTRONIC MAIN-GROUP CLUSTERS IN ZINTL PHASES
As. Weller et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE 9-ATOM, RHENA-BORANES AND TUNGSTA-BORANES (CP-ASTERISK-RE)(2)B7H7 AND (CP-ASTERISK-W)(2)B7H9, CP-ASTERISK = ETA(5)-C5ME5 - MOLECULAR MIMICS OF HYPOELECTRONIC MAIN-GROUP CLUSTERS IN ZINTL PHASES, Chemical communications, (17), 1998, pp. 1787-1788
Geometric and molecular orbital analyses of the metallaboranes (CpRe)
(2)B7H7 and (CpW)(2)B7H9, which display unusual, but identical, core
structures and skeletal electron pair counts of n - 2, demonstrate a c
lose connection between these molecular compounds and anionic, hypoele
ctronic main-group clusters found in the solid state.
