Charge distribution within 1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecarborane: dipole moments of its phenyl derivates

Abstrakt

The dipole moment of 1,2 dicarba-closo-dodecarborane is oriented with the positive end towards the carbon atoms as follows from measurements on phenyl derivatives with variable substituents. Towards the phenyl group, the substituent 1,2 %96C2B10H11 behaves as a weak electron acceptor.
