Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ic50020a025

The chemical oxidation of B₁₀H₁₀^-2 and some of its substituted derivatives has produced a series of coupled ions and several neutral compounds. The reaction of these coupled ions and the neutral derivatives with hydroxide ion yields a variety of ionic species. The preparation and properties of several substituted derivatives of B₂₀H₁₈^-2 and B₂₀H₁₉^-3 are presented.
