Abstract
On treatment of the [(1,2-C2B9H11)(2)Co](-) ion with naphthalene in pr esence of AlCl3 a remarkably bridged [8,8'-mu-(CH2-C9H6)-(1,2-C2B9H10) (2)-3-Co](-) ion is obtained as a single isolated compound. The triato mic -CH2-C9H6- bridge is derived from the rearranged naphthalene nucle us. The mechanism of this reaction is obscure but it does resemble the ''Electrophile-Induced Nucleophilic Substitution'' reported earlier. Thr structure of the compound was established by multinuclear NMR spec troscopy and by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
