Decaethyl-2,6,8,10-tetracarba-nido-decaborane(10) - Preparation, Structure in the Solid State, and Stability[1]The title compound 6, prepared in two steps from the pentaethyl-1,5-dicarba-closo-pentaborane(5) (1), is characterized at 103 K as the low-temperature solid phase LT-6 by a single-crystal X-ray structure analysis; 6 reacts with alkali metals (K, Cs) to form the C4B6Et10 dianion (62-) which is easily oxidized to 6 (e.g. with I2, FeCl2, HgCl2). Ab initio MO and IGLO calculations of compound 6 have been carried out.
