Preparation and properties of inclusion complexes of 1,2-dicarbadodecaborane(12) with cyclodextrins
Abstract
One-to-one inclusion complexes were obtained in a crystalline state in high yields by treatment of β- and γ-cyclodextrin with 1,2-dicarbadodecaborane(12)(o-carborane), whereas α-cyclodextrin formed a 2 : 1 (cyclodextrin : guest) complex on sonication, and a 1 : 1 complex on crystallization from water–propan-2-ol.
