Mechanism of generation of<i>closo</i>-decaborato amidrazones. Intramolecular non-covalent B–H⋯π(Ph) interaction determines stabilization of the configuration around the amidrazone CN bond

Abstract

Three types of N(H)-nucleophiles were used to study the nucleophilic addition to the CN group of the 2-propanenitrilium<italic>closo</italic>-decaborate cluster giving<italic>N-closo</italic>-decaborato amidrazones.
