Reactions between 7-L-nirio-7,8,9-C3B8H10 compounds (where L = (BuNH2)-N-t
and Me2NH) and [NMe3H](+) [7,8-C2B9H12](-) in the presence of NaH, followed
by the addition of anhydrous CoCl2 and prolonged heating in diglyme at ref
lux, resulted in the isolation of mixed-ligand 12-vertex cobaltacarboranes
[closo-(9-R2N-1,7,9-C3B8H10)-commo-2,(3')-Co-(1',2'-C2B9H11)] (where R=H or
Me). These represent neutral, crossover complexes between metallatricarbol
lides and metalladicarbollides and contain amino groups attached to p-posit
ions with respect to the metal centre. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All r
