Tetracarbon Metallocarboranes. 2. Thermal Rearrangement of Fourteen-Vertex Cage Systems. Crystal Structures of Three Tetracarbon Diferracarborane Isomers, (n5-C5H5)2Fe2(CH3)4C4B8H8.

Abstract

The stereochemistry of 14-vertex polyhedral cages has been explored via a study of the crystal structures of three isomers of (Eta(5)-C5H5)2Fe2(CH3)4C4B8H8 and their thermal rearrangement. In contrast to other metallocarborane systems, isomerism in these species involves changes in gross polyhedral geometry.
