Decaborate, B10H102−, is a closo borane anion. It is t dodecaborate. Its stucture was first reported in 1959 on the basis of its nmr spectrum. 10.1021/ja01530a073 Possibly/probably first synthesized by the same group in 1959 10.1021/ja01529a077
Structure edit
Bicapped square antiprism
Synthesis edit
from decaborane Reaction of decaborane with triethylamine in refluxing benzene produces triethylammonium decaborate
From borohydride Pyrolysis of tetraethylammonium borohydride at 185 °C produces tetraethylammonium decaborate in up to 94% yield, but in a manner strongly dependent on the exact conditions.
Reactions edit
Easily oxidized in aqueous acid. Halogenation
