Carbonyl–metal fragment insertion into eight-vertex [closo-1-CB7H8]−. Facile synthesis of ten-vertex metalladicarbollide complexes [2,2,2-(CO)3-1-OH-closo-2,1,10-MC2B7H8]n− {M = Fe, Ru (n = 0), Mn, Re (n = 1)}
Abstract
Insertion of {M(CO)4} fragments (M = Fe, Ru, Mn, Re) into the eight-vertex monocarborane anion [closo-1-CB7H8]− affords ten-vertex metal–dicarbollide complexes.
