Abstract
On treatment of the [2-Co-(1,7-C2B9H11)2- ion with elemental sulfur and AlCl3 only the racemic form of the [6,6'-μ-S(1,7-C2B9H10)2-2-Co] ion is obtained in high yield. Methylation of this ion proceeds at the sulfur bridge giving rise to the zwitterionic complex [6,6'-μ-MeS(1,7-C2B9H10)2-2-Co]. Constitution of both species has been established by high-field NMR methods and confirmed by resolution to enantiomers by HPLC on chiral stationary phase.
