Treatment of Me3NH[B11H14] with excess H2SO4 and Me2S formed 7-Me2S.B1
1H13 (1) in good yield. Thermal rearrangement of 1 at 110-degrees-C in
a sublimation apparatus formed a mixture of 1-Me2S.B11H13(2) and 2-Me
2S.B11H13 (3). Compound 1 was characterized by a single-crystal X-ray
diffraction determination (space group P2(1)/c, a = 7.194(1) angstrom,
b = 12.240(3) angstrom, c = 13.520(3) angstrom, beta = 102.60(1)degre
es, Z = 4). Compound 3 was also characterized by a single-crystal X-ra
y diffraction determination (space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), a = 8.936(1) a
ngstrom, b = 10.280(1) angstrom, c = 12.629(1) angstrom, Z = 2).
