The photolysis and thermal reaction of hexafluorobenzene solution of icosahedral dicarba-closo-dodecaborane and various carbenes have been shown to lead to the formation of four isomeric insertion products to icosahedral molecules. The results showed the carbene insertion reaction to 1, 2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane to occur at the positions of 4-, 5-, 7-, and 11-borons, 9-, and 12-borons 3-, and 6-borons and 8-, and 10-borons. The samples of 1, 7-, and 1, 12-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane with carbenes in hexafluorobenzene by photolysis showed no reaction. To find out the reactivities of carbenes to dicarba-closo-dodecaboranes, the total energies have been calculated and have been discussed the tendency for carbene insertion reactions to icosahedral carboranes.
