Oxidative perhydroxylation of [closo-B12H12]2- to the stable inorganic cluster redox system [B12(OH)12]2-/·-: experiment and theory.

A surprisingly simple reaction converts the normally inert prototypical hydridoborate cluster [closo-B12H12]2- not only to [closo-B12(OH)12]2- but also, at less-elevated temps., to the new [hypocloso-B12(OH)12]·- radical anion. Both approx. icosahedral closo and hypocloso cluster ions were structurally characterized as the Cs salts and their properties were assessed exptl. and theor. [on SciFinder(R)]
