Abstract

(Figure Presented) Unanticipated complexity: The first example of a 4,1,11-MC₂B₁₀ metallacarborane (see picture; Ru magenta, B pink, C gray, H white) is reported. Reduction and metalation of 1,12-Ph ₂-1,12-closo-C₂B₁₀H₁₀ at both room temperature and low temperature yields no fewer than five isomeric supraicosahedral metallacarborane products. Calculations identify two initial nido-[C₂B₁₀H₁₂]^2- species, each with one C atom that is not in the open face.
