New 10 and 11-Atom Polyhedral Metallocarboranes Prepared by Polyhedral Contraction
Abstract
The base degradation of (L Co(pi-(3)-1,2-B9C2H11))(z) followed by oxidation has been found to effect a polyhedral contraction to give (L Co(pi-(1) -2,4-B8C2H10))(z); where L=C5H5(-) and z=O or L=(3)-1,2-B9C2H11(2-) and z=-1. Further degradation of these complexes using FeCl3 in ethanol gave ((pi-C5H5) Co(pi-B7C2H11)) and ((pi-(3)-1,2-B9C2H11)Co(pi-B7C2H9)). The former complex eliminates hydrogen at 150C to give ((pi-C5H5)Co(pi-(2)-1,10-B7C2H9)).
