Beyond the Icosahedron: The First 13-Vertex Carborane

Cornering the 13th vertex: The first 13‐vertex carborane (see picture, B: brown, C: gray, H: white) has been prepared by a methodology that can in principle be applied repeatedly, leading to 14‐, 15‐, 16‐, …︁ vertex carboranes in the future. The 13‐vertex species has a henicosahedral geometry, not t...

Zusammenfassung:Cornering the 13th vertex: The first 13‐vertex carborane (see picture, B: brown, C: gray, H: white) has been prepared by a methodology that can in principle be applied repeatedly, leading to 14‐, 15‐, 16‐, …︁ vertex carboranes in the future. The 13‐vertex species has a henicosahedral geometry, not the docosahedral one expected, but the two forms are found to be very close in energy by DFT calculations.
