B–N bond formation at stanna-closo-dodecaborate†
Abstract
The heteroborate stanna-closo-dodecaborate shows double substitution in the reaction with alkylated acetonitrile. The reaction product, the charge compensated E,E-isomer, was isomerized into the Z,Z-isomer and hydrogenated at the double bonds. Furthermore the methylated cluster shows less reactivity and the monosubstituted cluster was isolated. The reaction products were characterized by
