Carboranes as Lewis Acids: Tetrel Bonding in CB<sub>11</sub>H<sub>11</sub> Carbonium Ylide

Carboranes as Lewis Acids: Tetrel Bonding in CB<sub>11</sub>H<sub>11</sub> Carbonium Ylide

High-level quantum-chemical computations (G4MP2) are carried out in the study of complexes featuring tetrel bonding between the carbon atom in the carbenoid CB<sub>11</sub>H<sub>11</sub>—obtained by hydride removal in the C-H bond of the known <i>closo</i>-monocar...
