Abstract
In 9,10-(SMe)-8-(eta(4)-C(5)Me(5)H)-nido-8,7-RhSB9H9] the non-borane l igand has been found to prefer {eta(4)-C(5)Me(5)H} rather than {eta(5) -C(5)Me(5)} character, demonstrating factors behind (a) metallaborane core cluster control of exopolyhedral ligand-to-metal co-ordination mo des, and (b) the stability of sixteen-electron transition-element cent res that engender stable formally 'low' cluster-electron counts.
