Deboronation of [8-(1'- closo-1',2'-CBH)- closo-2,1,8-MCBH] affords diastereoisomeric mixtures of [8-(7'- nido-7',8'-CBH)- closo-2,1,8-MCBH] anions (1, M = Ru( p-cymene); 2, M = CoCp) isolated as [HNMe] salts. Deprotonation of 1 and reaction with CoCl/NaCp followed by oxidation yields [8-(1'-3'-Cp -closo-3',1',2'-CoCBH)-2-( p-cymene)- closo-2,1,8-RuCBH] isolated as two separable diastereoisomers, namely, 3α and 3β, the first examples of heterometalated derivatives of 1,1'-bis( ortho-carborane). Deprotonation of [7-(1'- closo-1',2'-CBH)- nido-7,8-CBH], metalation with CoCl/NaCp* and oxidation affords the isomers [1-(1'- closo-1',2'-CBH)-3-Cp*- closo-3,1,2-CoCBH] (4) and [8-(1'- closo-1',2'-CBH)-2-Cp*- closo-2,1,8-CoCBH] (5) as well as a trace amount of the 13-vertex/12-vertex species [12-(1'- closo-1',2'-CBH)-4,5-Cp*- closo-4,5,1,12-CoCBH] (6).

We describe here the first report of a metallacarborane complex as a redox mediator in a functioning biofuel cell. Specifically, we have prepared a water-soluble salt of the complex anion [commo-3,3'-Fe-(closo-2,1-C(2)B(9)H(11))(2)](-) and employed it as a redox mediator for glucose oxidation using chitosan/multiwalled carbon nanotube-modified electrodes comprising immobilized glucose oxidase. Experiments have indicated an increased amperometric response to glucose feeding, providing the complex mediator was initially supplied in the phosphate buffer electrolyte solution.

Treatment of 7-NH(2)Bu(t)-nido-7-CB(10)H(12) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) with LiBu(n)(3 equiv) and then [ReBr(CO)(3)(THF)(2)] gives the rhenacarborane dianion [1-NHBu(t)-2,2,2-(CO)(3)-closo-2,1-ReCB(10)H(10)](2-), isolated as the bis-[N(PPh(3))(2)](+) salt (4). Iodine oxidation of this Re(I) intermediate gives the Re(III) complex [1,2-mu-NHBu(t)-2,2,2-(CO)(3)-closo-2,1-ReCB(10)H(10)] 6 in which the carborane functions formally as an 8-electron (6pi+ 2sigma) donor. Reaction of with ligands L in the presence of Me(3)NO gives substituted products [1,2-mu-NHBu(t)-2,2-(CO)(2)-2-L-closo-2,1-ReCB(10)H(10)][L = PPh(3)(7a), CNXyl (7b; Xyl = C(6)H(3)Me(2)-2,6), or Bu(t)C triple bond CH (7c)].

Treatment of the 11-vertex carborane anion [closo-2-CB(10)H(11)](-) with Ni(0) reagents in tetrahydrofuran (THF) affords-via oxidative insertion reactions-12-vertex Ni(II) complexes, isolated as the salts [N(PPh(3))(2)][2,2-L(2)-closo-2,1-NiCB(10)H(11)] (L = CO (1a), CNBu(t) (1b), and CNXyl (1c; Xyl = C(6)H(3)Me(2)-2,6); L(2) = cod (1d; cod = 1,2:5,6-eta-cyclo-octa-1,5-diene)). One CO ligand in 1a is readily replaced by donors L' in the presence of Me(3)NO to give the species [N(PPh(3))(2)][2-CO-2-L'-closo-2,1-NiCB(10)H(11)] (L' = PEt(3) (1e), PPh(3) (1f), CNBu(t) (1g), and CNXyl (1h)). The anionic complexes themselves readily react with hydride abstracting reagents in the presence of donor ligands to yield zwitterionic complexes in which boron vertexes bear substituents that are bound through C, N, or O atoms.

The compound [1-SMe2-2,2-(CO)2-7,11-(mu-H)2-2,7,11-{Ru2(CO)6}-closo-2,1-RuCB10H8] 1a reacts with PMe3 or PCy3(Cy = cyclo-C6H11) to give the structurally different species [1-SMe2-2,2-(CO)2-7,11-(mu-H)2-2,7,11-{Ru2(CO)5(PMe3)}-closo-2,1-RuCB10H8] 4 and [1-SMe2-2,2-(CO)2-11-(mu-H)-2,7,11-{Ru2(mu-H)(CO)5(PCy3)}-closo-2,1-RuCB10H8]5, respectively. A symmetrically disubstituted product [1-SMe2-2,2-(CO)2-7,11-(mu-H)2-2,7,11-{Ru2(CO)4(PMe3)2}-closo-2,1-RuCB10H8] 6 is obtained using an excess of PMe3. In contrast, the chelating diphosphines 1,1'-(PPh2)2-Fe(eta-C5H4)2 and 1,2-(PPh2)2-closo-1,2-C2B10H10 react with 1a to yield oxidative-insertion species [1-SMe2-2,2-(CO)2-11-(mu-H)-2,7,11-{Ru2(mu-H)(micro-[1',1''-(PPh2)2-Fe(eta-C5H4)2])(CO)4}-closo-2,1-RuCB10H8] 7 and [1-SMe2-2,2-(CO)2-11-(mu-H)-2,7,11-{Ru2(mu-H)(CO)4(1',2'-(PPh2)2-closo-1',2'-C2B10H10)}-closo-2,1-RuCB10H8] 8, respectively.
