1-Hexyl-o-carborane

1-Hexyl-o-carborane (CAS: 20740-05-0) is a special organoboron compound belonging to the class of alkyl-substituted o-carborane derivatives, characterized by a stable ortho-carborane core (a closo-polyhedral structure consisting of 10 boron atoms and 2 carbon atoms) . It has a standardized chemical formula of C12H26B10 and a molecular weight of 262.38, with a hexyl group (-C6H13) covalently bonded to one of the carbon atoms of the ortho-carborane core at the 1-position. 1-Hexyl-o-carborane (CAS: 20740-05-0) exists as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or low-melting crystalline solid (melting near room temperature), insoluble in water but soluble in non-polar organic solvents such as hexane, benzene and dichloromethane. It exhibits the high thermal stability and chemical inertness of the o-carborane core, along with the hydrophobicity and flexibility of the hexyl alkyl chain.
