Abstract

Synthesis, structure and properties of 8,8'-(μ-propargylthio)bis(1,2-dicarbollido)cobaltate, 8,8'-(μ-CHC-CH2S)-(1,2-C2B9H10)2-3-Co(III), are described (NMR, IR, and UV spectra, mass spectrum, X-ray structure, dipole moment) and transformation of this acetylenic monomer into a π-conjugated homopolymer is reported.

Keywords: Bridged metallacarborane; Substituted acetylenes; Metathesis; π-Conjugated polymers.
