Presented project pursues development of novel low-melting ionic materials involving closo- and nido-carborane cluster anions. Thermodynamic investigation of the phase transition processes in these materials explores the correlation between the relative enthalpy and entropy contributions and the varying degree of derivatization introduced in cations and anions. The compounds are synthesized in the metathesis reactions and studied by Differential Scanning Calorimetry and X-ray single crystal diffraction methods.
