Abstract

Comparing reactions of 1 with analogous reactions of phenyl (m-carboran-9-yl) bromonium and phenyl (m-carboran-9-yl) iodonium cations revealed the following pattern. For the sequence [C2BloH, lI-Ph]+,[C2BIoHll-Br-Ph] t,[C2BIOHIICI-Ph]+, degradation of the carborane ligand occurs with increasing ease, one-electron reduction reactions lead to only halogen-phenyl bond cleavage regardless of the halogen atom of the halonium cation, ...
