Abstract

The complexation reactions of CuI with the B10H10 2− anion and its protonated form, the B10H11 anion, were studied in the presence of phenanthridine (9Nphen). Depending on the reaction conditions, positional isomers of the monomeric copper(i) complex [Cu2(9Nphen)4B10H10] were selectively isolated. The closo-decaborate anion in the complexes is coordinated to the Cu(i) atoms through the apical edges 1–2, 7(8)–10 or 1–2, 1–4 via the formation of multicenter CuHB bonds. The crystal structures and IR spectra of the complexes were studied. The compound [Cu2(9Nphen)4B10H10] is the first monomeric complex isolated in the form of the 1–2, 7(8)–10 isomer. It extends the series of positional isomers, which we have described earlier.
