Abstract
The interaction of equivalent amounts of 3,6-Cp2-3,6,1,2-Co2C2B8H10 1 and mercury(II) acetate in boiling CH2CI2 followed by treatment with NaCI results in a mixture (1:1.2) of 8- and 9-chloromercury derivatives of dicobaltacarboranes (compounds 2 and 3). The action of excess Hg(OAc)2 on 1 leads to the tetramercurated compound with substitution in positions 8, 9, 10 and 12 of the carborane icosahedron; the structure of 8-CIHg-3,6-Cp2-3,6,1,2-Co2C2B8H9 was determined by an X-ray diffraction study.
