Various derivatives of 1,2′-(B5H8)2 and 2,2′-(B5H8)2 were produced via halogenation and deprotonation reactions. The rearrangement of the parent compounds and some of their derivatives was studied in the presence of Lewis bases. Cleavage of the intercage σ bond in 1,2′-(B5H8)2 was observed in the presence of halogens and hydrogen halides, while boron-boron σ-bond cleavage was not observed in 2,2′-(B5H8)2.
