Molecular Structure
Detailed Description
Carboranes have been used to make solid?superacids. Solid superacid catalysts alleviate the need to dispose of spent acids, thus providing a significant environmental advantage over dissolved acids.
Carboranes have been explored as a source of boron in?boron neutron capture therapy. They have also been examined in structural studies in?crystallography.
A prominent example is the charge-neutral C2B10H12?or?o-carborane?with the prefix?o?derived from?ortho. This derivative has been consider for a wide range of applications from heat-resistant polymers to medical applications. The electronic structure of these cluster compounds has been described by Wade-Mingos rules.?Carborane acid?is the chlorinated?superacid?H(CHB11Cl11), which has the structure shown at right.
m-Carborane CAS:16986-24-6 is carborane derived from Decaborane (14), which is white powder. It is available in kilogram scale.
