Abstract: The dodecaborate anion (B12H122–, DDB) has been qualitatively considered as a strong electron donor. Here, we report the Hammett substituent constant for DDB and its amino derivative (DDB–NH), which are among the strongest electron donors reported so far, on a scale that employs the 19F chemical shift of meta- and para-substituted fluorobenzenes in DMSO. The dissection of the substituent effect into inductive/field and resonance contributions shows that specifically the DDB group exerts an exceptionally strong… Show more
