CZoso-Metallocarboranes

The original preparation of ten-vertex metallocarboranes involved the deprotonation of the nido-carboranc 6,8-C2B7H13, followed by reaction with a transition metal halide. Additional hydrogen gas was liberated during the complexation, and cZoso-metallocarborane compounds were formed (38) ... [Pg.175]

Spencer, Green, and Stone (88) have recently described a new synthetic approach to metallocarboranes in which an organomctallic transition metal complex is thermally reacted with a neutral cZoso-carborane, resulting in the incorporation of the metal into the polyhedron ... [Pg.155]

The following reaction sequence leading to these complexes is believed to be similar to the stepwise reactions in which metallocarborane complexes are formed from neutral cZoso-carboranes ... [Pg.161]
