Give Me strength: Methylation of the easily accessible weakly coordinating dianion [B12Cl12]2− affords Me2B12Cl12 (see picture). This neutral compound is a stronger methylating agent than commonly used methyl triflate, and it even methylates benzene. The synthesis, crystal structure, and reactivity of Me2B12Cl12 in solution and the gas phase are discussed.
