We report herein the first example of the controlled isomerisation of a ,'-bound (to metal) bis(-carborane) ligand to ,'-bound with no other change in the molecule. Since the C and B vertices of carboranes have different electron-donating properties this transformation allows the reactivity of the metal centre to be fine-tuned.
我们在此报告首例(与金属)以α,α'-键合的双(碳硼烷)配体可控异构化为以α,β'-键合且分子中无其他变化的情况。由于碳硼烷的碳和硼顶点具有不同的给电子性质,这种转变能够对金属中心的反应活性进行微调。
