Abstract
The treatment of 1,2-, 1,7- and 1,12-carbaborane lithiated isomers with [3,3′-Co-8-(CH2CH2O)2- (1,2-C2B9H10)-(1′,2′-C2B 9H11)] (1) at molar ratios 1:1 or 1:2 at room temperature in THF leads generally to the formation of a series of orange double-cluster mono and dianions. These were characterized by NMR and MS methods as [1′′-X-1′′,2′′-closo- C2B10H11]-, [2]-; [1′′-X-1′′,7′′-closo-C2 B10H11]-, [3]- and [1′′-X-1′′,12′′-closo-C2B 10H11], [4]- for the monoanions, whereas [1′′,2′′-X2-1′′,2′ ′-closo-C2B10H10]2-, [2]2-; [1′′,7′′-X2-1′′,7′ ′-closo-C2B10H10]2-, [3]2-; and [1′′,12′′-X2-1′′, 12′′-closo-C2B10H10]2-, [4]2- for the dianions (where X = 3,3′-Co-8-(CH2CH2O)2- (1,2-C2B9H10)-1′,2′-(C2 B9H11)). Moreover, these borane-cage subunits can be easily modified via attaching variable substituents onto cage carbon and boron vertices, which makes these compounds structurally flexible potential candidates for BNCT of cancer and HIV-PR inhibition.
