Polyhedral Carboranes (2007)
Book Chapter
Fox, M. (2007). Polyhedral Carboranes. In D. M. P. Mingos, & R. H. Crabtree (Eds.), Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry III (49-112). Amsterdam: Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/B0-08-045047-4/00043-1

This chapter covers the syntheses and geometries of polyhedral carboranes. Conversions of C–H and B–H bonds into C–X and B–X, respectively (where X is a nonmetal substituent), in these systems are also discussed. Significant developments described ar... Read More about Polyhedral Carboranes.

The preparation and characterisation of ruthenium cyanovinylidene complexes. (2007)
Journal Article
Brown, N. J., Eckert, P. K., Fox, M. A., Yufit, D. S., Howard, J. A., & Low, P. J. (2008). The preparation and characterisation of ruthenium cyanovinylidene complexes. Dalton Transactions, 433-436. https://doi.org/10.1039/b714274a

Reactions of half-sandwich ruthenium metal acetylide complexes with 1-cyano-4-dimethylaminopyridinium salts afford complexes containing mono- or di-cyanovinylidene ligands; the procedure can be adapted to permit the simple synthesis of a cyanoacetyli...
