Synthesis and structure of transition metal complexes with phosphine ligands derived from
icosahedral dicarbaboranes C 2 B 10 H 12, monocarbaboranes [CB 9 H 10]− and [CB 11 H …

Activation of atmospherically abundant dinitrogen (N2) under mild conditions has been a
great challenge in chemistry for decades because of the significantly strong N≡ N triple …

Over the past several years, a number of strategies for the functionalization of dicarba-closo-
dodecaboranes (carboranes) have emerged. Despite these developments, B–N bond …

Deprotonation of [7-(1′-closo-1′, 2′-C2B10H11)-nido-7, 8-C2B9H11]− and reaction with
[Rh (PPh3) 3Cl] results in isomerization of the metalated cage and the formation of [8-(1 …

Abstract The dimesitylborylcarborane [1-BMes 2-2-Me-closo-1, 2-C 2 B 10 H 10](1) has
been prepared. The Lewis acidity of 1 has been assessed by the Gutmann-Beckett method …

Calculated and measured 77Se nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shift data on
a diverse collection of 13 selenaborane cluster compounds, containing a total of 19 …

Complexation of B-closo-and nido-carboranyl methyl thioethers with the
pentacarbonyltungsten fragment was studied. An unusual instability of the nido-derivative is …

We report herein the first example of the controlled isomerisation of a C, C′-bound (to
metal) bis (ortho-carborane) ligand to C, B′-bound with no other change in the molecule …

Abstract Sterically demanding 2, 6‐dibenzhydryl‐4‐methylphenyl and 1, 2, 3‐triazole based
tertiary phosphines,[Ar*{1, 2, 3‐N3C (Ph) C (PR2)}](R= Ph, 3; R= iPr, 4) were obtained by the …

Phosphinines and donor-substituted phosphinines are of recent interest due to their use in
homogeneous catalysis. In this article, a Pd (II) bis (phosphinine) complex was characterised …
