Abstract: The development of practical Mg based batteries is limited by the lack of a library of suitable electrolytes. Recently a 12-vertex closo-carborane anion based electrolyte has been shown to be the first electrolyte for Mg… read more here.

Abstract: Reported are procedures leading to the first types of methyl camouflaged dicarbadecaboranes with fewer than eleven vertices. The compounds contain the closo-1,6-C2B8 scaffolding inside the egg-shaped hepta - decamethyl sheath, which imparts unusually high air… read more here.

Abstract: Reaction of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)-ortho-carborane (L) with [K(thf){(MesBIAN)Co(η4-cod)}] (1, MesBIAN = bis(mesityliminoace-naphthene)diimine, cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) affords an anionic 13-vertex closo-cobaltacarborane cluster (2) in one step. The mechanism of this transformation has been studied by experimental and quantum… read more here.

Abstract: Discovered by Knöth in 1964, the 10-vertex closo-carborane anion [HCB9H91-] is a classical bicapped square antiprism that contains an unusual pentacoordinate carbon center. Compared to its larger icosahedral cousin [HCB11H111-], few investigations have been made… read more here.
