Abstract
This review describes possibilities of introducing carbon-containing substi tuents into close-polyhedral boron clusters by formation of boron-carbon bo nds. The B12H122- cluster can be reacted with carbocations. Reactions under Friedel-Crafts conditions with acyl halides usually lead to halogenation r ather than substitution with organic residues. The CO group can be introduc ed readily to yield starting material for further reactions. Pd-catalyzed G rignard reactions of the monoiodo derivative of B12H122- lead to the format ion of B-C bonds.
