Title: B 12 (SCN) 12 : An Ultrastable Weakly Coordinating Dianion

Journal Article · · Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

Stable dianions that are weakly coordinating with metal ions are not common. In this work, we show that the thiocyanate SCN– anion, known for its detoxification property of cyanide CN– and antidegradation property of perovskite solar-cell materials, can also be used to produce a new set of weakly coordinating B12(SCN)12– dianion complexes which are potential candidates for the anionic part inside the electrolytes of metal-ion, especially the magnesium-ion-based, batteries.
