Closo-decaborate

Both electrolytic and protolytic methods of decomposition of iodo-benzenenonahydro-closo-decaborate(l—), B,0H9IPh, led to the formation of B10H9T. 52...

However, the chemistry of c/oi o-decaborate is much less studied than the c/oio-dodecaborate chemistry. The carba-c/oio-dodecaborate anion [CB,H,2] combines advantages of both its iso-structural and isoelectronic analogs, [C2B10H12] and [B,2H,2] the good solubility in water as the sodium salt and the presence of carbon atom available for functionalization using standard methods of organic chemistry [20], It should be noted that the practical importance of the cwha-closo-dodecaborate anion was very limited up to recently when convenient methods for the synthesis of the parent cluster and its C-phenyl derivatives were developed [21], A few examples of incorporation of [CBiiHi2] into various porphyrins have been reported quite recently [22],... 

A similar approach was applied for the synthesis of benzoic acids derived from the closo-dodecaborate [45], cZoio-decaborate [43], and cobalt bis(dicarbollide) [46,47] anions.
