11. As simple modeling of such a carborane shows the only possible orientation for an apical duryl group is parallel to the basal B-B and C-C vectors. Even in this position the orthomethyl groups are very close to the isopropyl substituents and the equatorial boron atoms, but these steric interactions do not seem to be severe enough that one would completely exclude the possibility of a duryl group in the apical position. There are only two feasible ways from which such a carborane could originate: by an exchange of two boryl groups in 9a or by a hydroboration with 1,2-diduryldiborane(6). Both reactions would involve intermediates with even shorter duryl-isopropyl contacts, too short for nonbonding interactions. Thus a carborane with a duryl group in an apical position should be stable but in the above discussed cases duryl-isopropyl interactions make the bicyclic intermediates energetically inaccessible so that a carborane cannot form this way.
