Macropolyhedral boron-containing cluster chemistry. Synthesis of the nineteen vertex monocarbaborane [9-(terBuNH2)-(anti)-9-CB18H20] by direct carbon-atom Aufbau†
Abstract
[9-(terBuNH2)-(anti)-9-CB18H20], in 36% yield from anti-B18H22, sodium naphthalene and terBuNC, constitutes the first example of a clean cluster carbon-addition Aufbau to form a macropolyhedral
