Diphenylphosphinodecaborane and Diphenylphosphinonaborane.

Abstract

An investigation was made to synthesize phosphinodecaboranes (R2P-B10H13) with trivalent phosphorus and to study their properties. Decaborane was treated with diphenylphosphine, diphenylchlorophosphine and ethyl diphenylphosphinite. Substitution involving the elimination of H, HCl or EtOH, respectively, did not occur, rather the corresponding B10H12(Ph2P.R)2 compounds were obtained (I, where R was H, m p 244 C; II where R was Cl, m p 212 C; III, where R was OEt, m p 216 C). Compound II was the subject of a comprehensive study of nucleophilic chlorine substitution, also the ligands of II and III were proved to be attached at the 6, 9 positions of the decaborane nucleus.
