The electronic structure of the nido-2,3-R2-2,3-dicarbahexaborane (R2C
2B4H6) where R is C2H5) and closo-1,2-dicarbadodecaborane (C2B10H12) h
ave been studied by photoemission spectroscopy (PES). Photoemission sp
ectra for condensed nido-2,3-diethyl-2,3-dicarbahexaborane(8) ((C2H5)2
C2B4H6) exhibited features in good agreement with molecular orbitals a
ssigned by modified neglect of differential overlap (MNDO) semiempiric
al theoretical calculations. Similar agreement can be demonstrated for
the closo-1,2-dicarbadodecaborane.
