Li. Zakharkin et al., Electrophilic iodination of 1-carba-7-phosphadodecaborane. Molecular and crystal structure of 9,10-diiodo-1-carba-7-phosphadodecaborane, RUSS J G CH, 71(2), 2001, pp. 196-200
The electrophilic iodination of 1-carba-7-phosphadodecaborane to an iodo-1-
carba-7-phosphadodecaborane was studied. The formation of 9,10-diiodo-1-car
ba-7-phosphadodecaborane was confirmed by an X-ray diffraction study (space
group C2/s, Z 8, R 3.32%). Possible reasons for the statistical disorder i
n the crystal structure were discussed. The NMR spectra of the product were
studied.
