Unprecedented formation of polycyclic diazadiborepine derivatives through cage deboronation of m-carborane

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Nov 11;50(87):13239-42. doi: 10.1039/c4cc06261b. Epub 2014 Sep 17.

Abstract

An unprecedented deboronation reaction of icosahedral carboranes is described, in which a BH group of m-carborane is detached from the cage and incorporated into an unusual nido-carborane-anellated diazadiborepine ring system.
