Vibrational Spectrum and Electronic Structure of the [B11H11]2–Dianion

Abstract: The vibrational spectrum, geometrical structure and electron-density distribution (EDD) of the formally closo (2n+2)-electron cluster species [B 11 H 11 ] 2-have been studied. The presence of two low-frequency vibrational modes is evidence of cluster nonrigidity. A rationale for this lies in the results of EDD calculations which show that the polyhedron lacks twocentre edge-localized B-B bonds of the 6k-5k type and that its surface exhibits two six-membered rings with low electron

“…The reactions of picoline-ligated hydridorhodathiaboranes (3-5) with C 2 H 4 and CO in this report resemble those found for the pyridine analog, 2, giving products of ligand substitution and cluster dehydrogenation (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). These reactions nicely illustrate the structural flexibility and chemical tunability of these 11-vertex clusters and demonstre that the parent rhodathiaborane, [8, ) 2 -nido-8,7-RhSB 9 H 10 ] (1), first reported in 1990, 4 is actually a rich source of organometallic chemistry.…”

“…In a similar fashion to the reactions with ethylene, the treatment of these pyridine and picolineligated hydridorhodathiaboranes, 2-5, with carbon monoxide affords the products of hydrogen loss and PPh 3 substitution, [1,1-(CO)(PPh 3 )-3-(L)-1,2-RhSB 9 H 8 ], (17)(18)(19) As we can see, thermal dehydrogenation, and reactions with CO and C 2 H 4 are convenient routes to the synthesis of 11-vertex rhodathiaboranes with closo / isonido-cluster geometries, which bear different exo-polyhedral ligands either at the metal centre or the boron-3 vertex. Thus, these reactions broaden the scope of the substitution chemistry in this system, allowing a systematic tuning of their reactivity.…”

“…structural data (measured or calculated interatomic distances), chemical behaviour, and, in some cases, fluxional behavior in solution, has been taken to indicate that they do not necessarily possess a formal closed deltahedral structure but the four long connectivities are essentially nonbonding, so that the species have effectively two five-membered open faces reminiscent of a 'remote arachno' configuration (e.g. 35A and 35B) [37]. The term quasiclosohas been coined for such structures.…”

“…Results suggest that because the polyhedron do not consist of deltahedral faces only, the cluster does not have a genuine closo structure. 7 Computational methods have been used to examine the most thermodynamically favoured sub-cluster combinations for two-vertex sharing nido:nido-, arachno:nidoand arachno:arachno-macropolyhedral borane clusters. 8 The synthesis of the facially fused macropolyhedral borane fac-[B 20 H 18 ] 2À has been achieved through an oxidative coupling of closo-[B 10 H 10 ] 2À ions.…”
