2-Substituted icosahedral monocarbon carboranes. Part 1. Synthesis via boron insertion
摘要:
New 2-substituted icosahedral monocarbon carboranes have been synthesised by functionalised boron insertion. The compounds [NBu(n)4] [2-Ph-closo-1-CB11H11] 1, [PPh4] [2-(p-MeC6H4)-closo-1-CB11H11] 2, [N(CHPh)Me3][2-F-closo-1-CB11H11] 3, 2-Me3N-closo-1-CB11H11 4 and [PPh4][2-Cl(CH2)4O-closo-1-CB11H11] 5 were characterised by H-1, B-11 and B-11-B-11 correlation NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of 5 shows a cage distortion that is postulated to result from pi interaction of the substituent with the cluster. Crystal data: triclinic, space group P1BAR, a = 10.672(2), b = 11.047(2), c = 14.203(3) angstrom, alpha = 75.97(2), beta = 87.84(2), gamma = 83.22(2)-degrees, Z = 2. Final R = 0.042 for 3951 reflections with I > 2sigma(I).
