Preparation and X-ray structure of 2-tetrahydroborato-2-berylla-nido-hexaborane(11): insertion of beryllium into a borane cage
Abstract
Reaction of beryllium borohydride with 1-chloropentaborane(9) results in insertion of a beryllium atom into the borane cage to give 2-tetrahydroborato-2-berylla-nido-hexaborane(11).
