Video Documented Upscaled Synthesis of Salts of the Parent Carbaborate Ion [CB11H12]−, its Undecafluorinated Form [CHB11F11]− and Useful Starting Materials for its Introduction.

In this work, we present our improved protocols for the single batch syntheses of approximately 32 g of [NHMe3][CB11H12] and 10 g of Na[CHB11F11] as well as salt metathesis reactions, granting access to useful starting materials to introduce the [CHB11F11]− anion. This includes the trityl cation [Ph3C]+ and the bis‐1,2‐difluorobenzene‐silver(I)‐complex [Ag(odfb)2]+, as well as some applications of the shown compounds. The described methodology allows the synthesis of large amounts of both the [CB11H12]− and the [CHB11F11]− anion and therefore making them accessible for further reactions. To facilitate the reproducibility, we present video tutorials of the synthetic steps towards Na[CHB11F11]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
