No explosion , but per‐ B ‐hydroxylation occurs if the icosahedral boron hydrides [ closo ‐B 12 H 12 ] 2− (see picture), [ closo ‐CB 11 H 12 ] − , or closo ‐1,12‐(CH 2 OH) 2 ‐1,12‐C 2 B 10 H 10 are refluxed in 30 % hydrogen peroxide. Thus, the three isoelectronic species [ closo ‐B 12 (OH) 12 ] 2− , [ closo ‐1‐H‐1‐CB 11 (OH) 11 ] − , and closo ‐1,12‐H 2 ‐1,12‐C 2 B 10 (OH) 10 were obtained. ○=BH, ○=BOH.
