摘要
We report a combined photoelectron spectroscopic and computational study of the o-dicarbadodecaborane (o-carborane) parent anion, (C2B10H12)(-). Previous studies that focused on the electrophilic nature of o-carborane led to tantalizing yet mixed results. In our study, we confirmed that o-carborane does in fact form a parent anion and that it has considerable stability. This anion is an isomer ("Anion iso 2") where unlike in neutral o-carborane, the two carbon atoms are not bound. Published by AIP Publishing.
