Jm. Dou et al., A CYCLOBORONATED NICKELAUNDECABORANE - [(PHCOS)(2)NIB10H8(PPH3)], Acta crystallographica. Section C, Crystal structure communications, 53, 1997, pp. 693-695
The title compound di(mu-thiobenzoato-S:O)-10(triphenylphosphine-P)-8
:9-mu H-7-nickela-nido-undecaborane, C32H33B10NiO2PS2, has been synthe
sized and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The cluster is
a nido eleven-vertex {NiB10} cage with the Ni atom in the open NiB4 fa
ce. Cyclizations resulting in two five-membered rings, Ni7-S1-C1-O1-B8
and Ni7-S2-C2-O2--B11, have occurred.
