Bridged Heterocyclium Di-Cationic closo-Icosahedral Perfluoroborane, Borane, and Carborane Salts via Aqueous, Open-Air Benchtop Synthesis (Preprint)

Abstract

Thirteen unreported bridged triazolium and imidazolium di-cationic salts, that uniquely pair closo-icosahedral perfluoroborane [B12F12](exp 2-), borane [B12H12](exp 2-), or carborane [CB11H12](exp -) anionic species with unsaturated bridged heterocyclium di-cations, were synthesized in water using an open-air benchtop method. This considerably extends the scope of a reported aqueous synthesis of binary [Heterocyclium]2[B12H12] and [Heterocyclium][CB11H12] salts. Also, the one-step preparation of five new precursor bridged heterocyclium di-cationic di-halide salts using conventional procedures, and in one case a microwave-assisted procedure, is described.
