Abstract

Reaction of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)-ortho-carborane (L) with [K(thf){((Mes)BIAN)Co(eta(4)-cod)}] (1, (Mes)BIAN = bis(mesityliminoace-naphthene)diimine, cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) affords an anionic 13-vertex closo-cobaltacarborane cluster (2) in one step. The mechanism of this transformation has been studied by experimental and quantum chemical techniques, which suggest that a series of outer-sphere electron transfer and isomerisation processes occurs. This work shows that low-valent metalate anions are promising reagents for the synthesis of anionic metallacarborane clusters.
