Notes:
[B6H6]2- as the smallest known hydro-closo-borate is only moderately stable, and therefore its reaction chemistry remained unexplored for quite a long time. Since the mid 1980s some progress has been made in this field, and a considerable number of derivatives has been prepared. The provided structural and spectroscopic data together with the results of more sophisticated theoretical investigations by high level ab initio methods are a good basis for a systematic review on this class of compounds, and may encourage further synthetic and theoretical work. This is the aim of the present article giving a comprehensive survey up to the beginning of 1999.
