Abstract

The structures of the adduct nido-C2B10H12·HNP(NMe2)3 and the borenium salt [(Me2N)3PNHBNP(NMe2)3]2O2+(C2B9H12–)2, both obtained from 1,2-C2B10H12 and HNP(NMe2)3, were determined by X-ray crystallography; the adduct represents the first structurally determined carborane of its type, a possible intermediate in the well known conversion of closo-1,2-C2B10H12 into the nido-7,8-C2B9H12– anion by bases.
