<<Abstract - General synthetic routes to functionalized C-
and B-substituted derivatives of nido-C9B4H8, C4B5H12, and
C2B3H72 are described together with their use as
buiTding-blociZ units in the planned construction of
multidecker transition-metal sandwich complexes and related
systems.
Specifically discussed are (1) synthesis of C2B4
nido-carboranes containing sterically demanding and/or
electronically active groups; (2) trinsitionmetal
7-complexation of the C2B4 derivatives at carboranyl and
aryl sites; (3) controlled stepwise oxidative fusion of
C2Ba-metal complexes to form asymmetrically substituted C4B8
clusters; and (4) current efforts in the author's laboratory
directed toward the preparation of electron-delocalized
polymers incorporating carboranes or metallacarboranes.
INTRODUCTION
Boron clusters, particularly the carboranes and their
metal-containing derivatives, present intriguing
possibilities for the construction of large
electron-delocalized multilayer metal sandwich complexes,
and, of particular interest, polymers exhibiting
low-dimensional electrical conductivity. Following the
synthesis of the first ionic (ref. 1) and electrically
neutral (ref. 2) triple-decker sandwich complexes, a number
of triple- to hexadecker
boron-containing sandwiches have been characterized (ref. 3,
4), and an electrically conducting nickel-diborolyl polymer
has been reported (ref. 5). As a group, carboranes exhibit
high chemical and thermal stability, substantial electron
delocalization in the cage framework, ease of complexation
with transition metals (for open-cage species),
and relatively straightforward functionalization by organic
groups at cage carbon locations. These properties have been
extensively exploited, in the icosahedral C2B1OH12
carboranes (ref. 6), to prepare uniquely stable high
polymers (ref. 7), metallacarborane-based catalysts (ref.
8), and agents for '0B neutron capture therapy of tumors
(ref. 9).>>
In particolare mi ha basito il fatto che 1) volessero fare
anche loro i polimeri multi-decker. 2) che avessero pensato
anche al tetra-carba-cluster icosaedrico (ma l'articolo,
vecchio, dice che usavano un'altra materia prima abbondante).
Cercherò ancora, anche se dispero di trovare molto di
pubblico e free
