Abstract
A neutron diffraction study of the salt (PSH+)(nido-7 8-C2B9H12-) reveals t he unsymmetrically bridging site of the endo hydrogen in the carborane anio n. This is the first neutron diffraction structure determination of a clust er borane or carborane containing natural abundance boron isotopes.
