Synthetic routes to new C–B–N-containing mesophase materials from borazarene-type precursors have been explored. Such mesophases have the potential for forming C/BN alloys which could be processed in analogous ways to carbonaceous mesophases, e.g. in...

Deboronation of meta-carborane, closo-1,7-C2B10H12, with refluxing piperidine results in the quantitative formation of [(C5H10NH)(2)H+](nido-7,9-C2B9H12-) whose structure was determined by X-ray diffraction. Heating under vacuum liberates piperidine... Read More about Crystal and molecular structures of the nido-carborane anions, 7,9- and 2,9 C₂B₉H₁₂.
