Synthesis and characterization of <i>closo</i>-decahydrido-decaborate-phosphine mediated by palladium(0) complexes
We report an efficient and selective preparation of an apical mono-functionalized <i>closo</i>-decahydrido-decaborate anion [B<sub>10</sub>H<sub>10</sub>]<sup>2-</sup> with aromatic or aliphatic tertiary phosphines. Starting from [N(<i>n</i>-C<sub>4</sub>H<sub>9</sub>)<sub>4</sub>]<sub>2</sub>[1-B<sub>10</sub>H<sub>9</sub>I] and 0.25-0.5 equiv. of Pd(0)-PR<sub>3</sub>, the corresponding [N(<i>n</i>-C<sub>4</sub>H<sub>9</sub>)<sub>4</sub>][1-B<sub>10</sub>H<sub>9</sub>PR<sub>3</sub>] compounds were obtained in high isolated yields under mild conditions. Additionally, a plausible mechanism was proposed based on experimental evidence.
