Macropolyhedral boron-containing cluster chemistry. Cluster fusion to give the novel nido–nido eighteen-vertex dithiaoctadecaborane (anti)-[9,9′-S2B16H16]
Abstract
Thermolysis of arachno-4-SB8H12 in cyclohexane generates the eighteen-vertex dithiaborane (anti)-[9,9′-S2B16H16]†via a simple cluster fusion previously unrealized for heteroborane species.
