The Synthesis of Icosahedral Metallocarboranes.
Abstract
Using ethanolic potassium hydroxide as the reaction medium ((pi-C5H5)Co-(pi-(3)-1,2-B9C2H11)) has been prepared in 73% yield from K-(3)-1,2-B9C2H12, C5H6, and CoC2. A red by-product from the reaction was isolated and identified as ((pi-C5H5)Co)2(pi-(3,6)-1,2-B8C2H10)). The reaction between ((pi-C5H5)Co(pi-(3)-1,2-B9C2H11)) and hydroxide ion in the presence of cobalt(II) afforded the brown trimetallic species ((pi-C5H5)Co-(pi-(3,6)-1,2-B8C2H10))2Co)(-). The electrochemical data for these complexes are discussed. (Author)
