Boron-enriched star-shaped molecule via cycloaddition reaction

Chem Commun (Camb). 2009 Jun 14:(22):3267-9. doi: 10.1039/b905076k. Epub 2009 May 6.

Abstract

The facile synthesis of a thermally stable carborane appended symmetrical star-shaped molecule having six bulky o-carborane clusters on the periphery, thereby containing sixty boron atoms was accomplished via a cobalt-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloaddition reaction.
