Abstract
One-electron reduction of the well-known carborane 1,2-Ph-2-1,2- C2B10H10 (1) gives rise to a stable carborane radical anion ([1](-)) with a true 2n + 3 cluster electron count; the geometry of ([1](-)) features an elongated C...C cage distance but no significant pi-bonding interactions between the cage and the phenyl substituents.File in questo prodotto:
