title: Macropolyhedral boron-containing cluster chemistry. Synthesis of the nineteen vertex monocarbaborane [9-(terBuNH2)-(anti)-9-CB18H20] by direct carbon-atom Aufbau.
abstract: [9-((ter)BuNH(2))-(anti)-9-CB(18)H(20)], in 36% yield from anti-B(18)H(22), sodium naphthalene and (ter)BuNC, constitutes the first example of a clean cluster carbon-addition Aufbau to form a macropolyhedral carbaborane.
