Abstract
Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies on C2B10H10C4H4 ('benzocarbor ane') and C2B10H10C4H6 ('dihydrobenzocarborane') show that the C-6 rin gs of each possess localised double bonds and this has been confirmed by bond-order calculations; the nido-anion, [C2B9H10C4H4](-) synthesis ed from C2B10H10C4H4, with maleic anhydride forms a Diels-Alder adduct .
