Abstract

Thermolysis of [(CO)(PMe3)2HIrB8H12] with molten B10H14 resulted in small yields of eighteen-vertex [7-(CO)-7,7-(PMe3)2-syn-7-IrB17 H20] for which a small crystal was examined by single-crystal diffraction analysis, using synchrotron X-radiation, in order to determine the molecular structure.
