Additive tuning redox potential in metallacarboranes by sequencial halogen substitution
González-Cardoso, Patricia; Stoica, Anca-Lulia; Farràs, Pau; Pepiol, Ariadna; Viñas, Clara; Teixidor, Francesc (Wiley, 2010-04-21)The first artificially made set of electron acceptors is presented that are derived from a unique platform Cs[3,3′-Co(C2B9H11)2], for which the redox potential of each differs from its predecessor by a fixed amount. The ... -
Controlling the pirouetting motion in rotaxanes by counterion exchange
Farràs, Pau; Escudero-Adán, Eduardo C.; Viñas, Clara; Teixidor, Francesc (American Chemical Society, 2014-07-25)A fine control of the pirouetting motion of rotaxanes was achieved by using a series of metallabisdicarbollides. The latter were used as anions in the protonated form of benzylic amide macrocycle-containing fumaramide ... -

Farràs, Pau; Teixidor, Francesc; Sillanpää, Reijo; Viñas, Clara (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2009-11-15)An atom efficient and environmentally friendly route has been developed to obtain a new range of reagents in metallacarborane chemistry having monobranched polyethoxylated cobaltabisdicarbollide synthons. -
A discrete P⋅⋅⋅I I⋅⋅⋅P assembly: the large influence of weak interactions on the 31P NMR Spectra of Phosphane–Diiodine Complexes
Nuñez, Rosario; Farràs, Pau; Teixidor, Francesc; Viñas, Clara; Sillanpää, Reijo; Kivekäs, Raikko (Wiley, 2006-02-06)Seeing I to I: The reaction of a weakly coordinating carboranyl phosphane ligand with I2 leads to the formation of an adduct containing the bridging P⋅⋅⋅I[BOND]I⋅⋅⋅P assembly in the solid state (see picture; I purple, P ... -
From icosahedron to a plane flattening dodecaiodo-dodecaborate by successive stripping of iodine
Farràs, Pau; Vankova, Nina; Zeonjuk, Lei Liu; Warneke, Jonas; Dülcks, Thomas; Heine, Thomas; Viñas, Clara; Teixidor, Francesc; Gabel, Detlef (Wiley, 2012-09-07)It has been shown by electrospray ionization–ion-trap mass spectrometry that B12I122− converts to an intact B12 cluster as a result of successive stripping of single iodine radicals or ions. Herein, the structure and ... -
Metallacarboranes as building blocks for polyanionic polyarmed aryl-ether materials
Farràs, Pau; Teixidor, Francesc; Kivekäs, Raikko; Sillanpää, Reijo; Viñas, Clara; Grüner, Bohumir; Cisarova, Ivana (American Chemical Society, 2008-09-20)Polyanionic species have been obtained in high yield by a new route in the ring-opening reaction of cyclic oxonium [3,3′-Co(8-C4H8O2-1,2-C2B9H10)(1′,2′-C2B9H11)] (2) by using carboxylic acids, Grignard reagents, and ... -
Relaxed but highly compact diansa metallacyclophanes
Farràs, Pau; Teixidor, Francesc; Rojo, Isabel; Kivekäs, Raikko; Sillanpää, Reijo; González-Cardoso, Paul V.; Viñas, Clara (American Chemical Society, 2011-09-09)A series of monoansa [μ-1,1′-PR-3,3′-Co(1,2-C2B9H10)2]− and diansa [8,8′-μ-(1″,2″-benzene)-μ-1,1′-PR-3,3′-Co(1,2-C2B9H9)2]− (R = Ph, tBu) cobaltabisdicarbollidephanes have been synthesized, characterized and studied by ... -
Surfactant behaviour of metallacarboranes. A study based on the electrolysis of water
Viñas, Clara; Tarrés, Màrius; González-Cardoso, Patricia; Farràs, Pau; Bauduin, Pierre; Teixidor, Francesc (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-11-21)[3,3′-Co(1,2-C2B9H11)2]−, [1]−, and its chloroderivatives have been described as displaying surfactant/aggregation properties. We have studied their behaviour as electrolytes in the water electrolysis process. The electrolysis ... -

Unprecedented B―H activation through Pd catalysed B―Cvinyl bond coupling on borane systems
Farràs, Pau; Olid-Britos, David; Viñas, Clara; Teixidor, Francesc (Wiley, 2011-04-20)A Pd-induced cascade B–Cvinyl coupling that produces multiple B–Cvinyl bonds starting from a single B–I bond has been demonstrated. The process is most probably stimulated by the geometrical disposition of the B–H bonds ... -
