Novel iodinated carboranes: synthesis of the 8-iodo-7,9-dicarba-nido-undecaborate anion and 2-iodo-1,7-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane.
Electrophilic iodination of the 7,9-dicarba-nido-undecaborate anion with molecular iodine in the presence of AlCl3 generated a new carborane anion-8-iodo-7,9-dicarba-nido-undecaborate-in excellent yield. The capping of the new anion with HBCl2 yielded a previously unknown neutral iodinated carborane, 2-iodo-1,7-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane.
