High yield C-derivatization of weakly coordinating carborane anions

Inorg Chem. 2010 Jun 7;49(11):4726-8. doi: 10.1021/ic100053u.

Abstract

Unlike the "parent" carborane anion CHB(11)H(11)(-), halogenated carborane anions such as CHB(11)H(5)Br(6)(-) can be readily C-functionalized in high yield and purity, enhancing their utility as weakly coordinating anions.
