Enhanced methods for the undecachlorination of [HCB<sub>11</sub>H<sub>11</sub>]<sup>−</sup> and syntheses of [XCB<sub>11</sub>Cl<sub>11</sub>]<sup>−</sup> from [HCB<sub>11</sub>Cl<sub>11</sub>]<sup>−</sup> (X = Cl, Br, I, NH<sub>2</sub>)
Utilizing SbCl<sub>3</sub>/SbCl<sub>5</sub> mixtures at reflux, or of TCCA in a solid-solid reaction at 200 °C (with properly described precautions) are described as reliable and convenient procedures for the conversion of [HCB<sub>11</sub>H<sub>11</sub>]<sup>-</sup> into [HCB<sub>11</sub>Cl<sub>11</sub>]<sup>-</sup>. Procedures for the derivatization of the carbon vertex of [HCB<sub>11</sub>Cl<sub>11</sub>]<sup>-</sup> to prepare [XCB<sub>11</sub>Cl<sub>11</sub>]<sup>-</sup> salts (X = Cl, Br, I, NH<sub>2</sub>) are also formulated.
