Sequential dehydrogenative borylation/hydrogenation route to polyethyl-substituted, weakly coordinating carborane anions
Treatment of Rh(PPh3)2(1-H-closo-CB 11H11) with ethene results in dehydrogenative borylation to form the vinyl-borate complex Rh(PPh3)2(1-H-7/12- (H2C=CH)-closo-CB10H10) as a mixture of 7- and 12-isomers. Further dehydrogenative borylation does not occur; this is accounted for by the strong binding...
