Synthesis and electrochemistry of some ferrocenyl substituted dicarba- and tricarbaborane compounds

Abstract

Herein we would like to outline an extension of ferrocenyl carborane chemistry to ten-vertex dicarbaborane and eleven-vertex tricarbaborane clusters. Electrochemical studies revealed that the compounds display one or two well-defined, reversible one-electron FeII/FeIII redox changes.
