“…These noncovalent interactions include: 1,2-Bis(phenylphosphanyl)-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane was first reported by Alexander and Schroeder in 1963 [12]. Since then, several derivatives with organophosphorus substituents have been prepared, and many coordination complexes of these organophosphorus ligands structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction, such as Pd [13], Pt [14], Cu [15], Ag [16], Au [17], Ru [17c,18], Rh [13e,19] and Mo [20], have been investigated. Recently, We have reported some Cu, Ag, Ni, Pd, Pt, Zn and Cu-Mo(W), Ag-Mo(W) complexes of the carborane ligands closo-1,2-(PPh 2 ) 2 -1,2-C 2 -B 10 H 10 and nido-[7,8-(PPh 2 ) 2 -7,8-C 2 B 9 H 10 )] À ) [21].…”
