Reaction of 3,3-(CO)(2)-4-SMe2-3,1,2-closo-RhC2B9H10 with iodine resul
ts in the formation of 3-(CO)-3,3-(I)(2)-4-SMe2-3,1,2-closo-RhC2B9H10,
1. Reaction between 1 and PPh3 results in substitution of the carbony
l group to afford 3-PPh3-3,3-(I)(2)-4-SMe2-3, 1, 2-closo-RhC2B9H10, 2.
Both new compounds have been fully characterised by multinuclear NMR
spectroscopy and also by a single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. (
