Nucleophilic addition of carborane anion to Ir, Rh-coordinated Cp* ring: C–C bond formation accompanied by reduction of metal center†
Abstract
Reaction of carboranyl anion or its thiolate derivative with a fully-substituted Cp*-based group 9 (Ir, Rh) metal complex affords respectively a C–C bond formation complex and a salt metathesis product. This example represents the first nucleophilic addition attempt in the area of M-Cp* chemistry.
