Notes:
The thermal reaction of equimolar quantities of isophthalonitrile and o-carborane has been shown to produce an adduct oligomer of isophthalonitrile. The structure was determined to involve condensation of three to five isophthalonitrile molecules to form a triazine-type system. This type of bonding gave rise to a trimer and pentamer. Further, the reaction was a homogeneous liquid phase reaction in which o-carborane is involved in a catalytic manner in the oligomerization. The overall reaction has first-order kinetics with an activation energy of 32.2 kcal/mole.
