Preparation and crystallographic characterization of a 2:1 adduct of ethynyldicarbadodecaborane(12) and trans-IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2
Abstract
Ethynyldicarbadodecaborane(12) reacted with trans-IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2 to afford the 2:1 adduct IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2(B10C4H11)(B10C4H13); X-ray crystallographic study showed the presence of σ-2-carboranylacetylide and σ-trans-2-carboranylvinyl substitutents.
