Abstract
A novel polyhedral borane cluster, {[(eta(5)-C5H5)Fe(eta(5)-C5H4CH2(Me )(3)N)](2)(+) [B22H22](2-)} (1), was synthesized in 60% yield from the oxidative coupling reaction involving [B11H14](-) ions in a mixed aqu eous and organic media. The single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 1 showed it to be a fused polyhedron in which an open (nido) decabo rane cage is fused to a closed (closo) dodecaborane cluster by elimina ting two bridging hydrogens on the B-10-cage and two terminal hydrogen s on the B-12-cluster.
