Abstract The mercuration of substituted R2C2B10H9X-9 type carboranes (where R=m-H, X= Cl, Br, I, Me; R=o-H, X=Me) was studied. It was found that mercury atoms add to the boron atoms in position 10 ofmeta-carboranes and in position 12 ofortho-carboranes,i.e., to the boron atoms adjacent to the boron atom bonded to the X substituent. Symmetrical (R2C2B10H8X)2Hg type derivatives were obtained. It was shown that they can be used as starting materials in transmetallation reactions.
