Controlling the pirouetting motion in rotaxanes by counterion exchange
(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 ...
Surfactant behaviour of metallacarboranes. A study based on the electrolysis of water
(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 ...
Relaxed but highly compact diansa metallacyclophanes
(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 ...
Additive tuning redox potential in metallacarboranes by sequencial halogen substitution
(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 ...
Syntheses of C-substituted icosahedral dicarbaboranes bearing the 8-dioxane-cobalt bisdicarbollide moiety
(Elsevier, 2009-11-20)
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′-C2B9H11)] (1) at molar ratios 1:1 or 1:2 at room temperature in THF leads generally to the formation of a ...
Metallacarboranes as building blocks for polyanionic polyarmed aryl-ether materials
(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 ...
