Monocarborane-stabilized iodonium salts enable regioselective B12-iodination of [CB <sub>11</sub> H <sub>12</sub> ] <sup>−</sup>
A series of highly stable iodonium salts [I(4-RPy)<sub>2</sub>][CB<sub>11</sub>H<sub>6</sub>X<sub>6</sub>] (R = H, NMe<sub>2</sub>, OMe, Me, NO<sub>2</sub>; X = Cl, Br, I) were isolated and characterized. These salts exhibit excellent solid-state stability and serve as efficient electrophilic iodinating reagents, enabling selective iodination at the B12 position of the monocarborane anion [CB<sub>11</sub>H<sub>12</sub>]<sup>-</sup>.
