Rearrangements in icosahedral boranes and carboranes revisited

The structure, stability, and intermolecular rearrangements between ortho-, meta-, and para-C(2)B(10)H(12) and [Formula: see text] were investigated using the hybrid density functional B3LYP/6-31G(d) for vibrational frequencies, as well as B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p) for single-point electronic energies.

description The structure, stability, and intermolecular rearrangements between ortho-, meta-, and para-C(2)B(10)H(12) and [Formula: see text] were investigated using the hybrid density functional B3LYP/6-31G(d) for vibrational frequencies, as well as B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p) for single-point electronic energies. The general trends in free energies of rearrangement between ortho-C(2)B(10)H(12) to meta-C(2)B(10)H(12) and meta-C(2)B(10)H(12) to para-C(2)B(10)H(12) presented here are consistent with experimental reaction temperatures. In addition, the majority of the rearrangements can be viewed in terms of concerted diamond–square–diamond steps and triangular face rotations.
