Abstract

Products from the reaction of + nido ten-vertex : nido eight-vertex, B₁₆H₂₀1 with [{(IrCl₂(η⁵-C₅Me₅)}₂] and tmnd show unanticipated rearrangement of the starting {B₁₆} skeleton, as exhibited by + nido ten-vertex : nido ten-vertex, [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)₂Ir₂B₁₆H₁₇Cl] 2 which has a {B₂} edge conjunction and by + nido ten-vertex : nido eleven-vertex, [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)₂Ir₂B₁₆H₁₅Cl] 3 which has a {B₃} face conjunction.
