Carboranylphosphinic Acids: A New Class of Purely Inorganic Ligands

Purely inorganic carboranyl phosphinates were prepared, and the influence of the cluster on the reactivity of the phosphinate group was studied. Electron-withdrawal by the carboranyl carbon atoms, combined with space-filling efficiency and enhanced aromaticity of the cluster cage, renders the phosphorus more difficult to oxidize. This enables carboranyl phosphinates to survive harsh oxidizing conditions, a property which is uncommon in organic phosphinates.

m-Carboranylphosphinate as Versatile Building Blocks To Design all Inorganic Coordination Polymers

The first examples of coordination polymers of manganese(II) and a nickel(II) complex with a purely inorganic carboranylphosphinate ligand are reported, together with its exhaustive characterization. X-ray analysis revealed 1D polymeric chains with carboranylphosphinate ligands bridging two manganese(II) centers. The reactivity of polymer 1 with water and Lewis bases has also been studied Thanks to MINECO (CTQ2015-66143-P, CTQ2010-16237 and SEV-2015-0496), Generalitat de Catalunya (2014/SGR/149), and COST CM1302.
