The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Reaction of the ten-vertex [6-Ph-nido-6-CB9H11] - anion (1) with two-electron donor ligands L, where L is SMe 2, NH2Ph, NC5H5, NC 5H4-para-CH2Ph, NC5H 4-para-Ph or NC9H7 (where NC9H 7 is quinoline) in the presence of {FeCl3(OH 2)6} gives the six neutral arachno ten-vertex monocarbaboranes [6-Ph-9-L-arachno-6-CB9H12], compounds 2, 3, 4, 7, 9 and 11, respectively, isolatable in yields of up to 63%. On prolonged treatment with {FeCl3(OH2)6} oxidative cluster closure of the four compounds 4, 7, 9 and 11 that have pyridine-type ligands gives the neutral closo ten-vertex monocarbaboranes [1-Ph-6-L-closo-1-CB9H8], compounds 6, 8, 10 and 12, respectively, in yields of 49-92%. All new species 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and NMR spectroscopy.
