Abstract
Single crystal X-ray structure of monoatomically bridged [6,6'-mu-S(1, 7-C2B9H10)(2)-2-Co](-)[PPh(4)](+) is reported and selected bond length s and angles are tabulated. A distinctly smaller dihedral angle (12.2 degrees) between both pentagonal ligand planes than found earlier in t he formally related symmetric analogue 8,8'-mu-MeOCOCH(2)S(1,2-C2B9H10 )(2)-3-Co(16.5 degrees) is discussed. This is the first reported X-ray structure of a monoatomically bridged cobaltacarborane with nonadjace nt carbon atoms in deltahedral ligands.
