Abstract
The first thorium complexes incorporating dicarbollide ligands, [Li(TH F)(4)](2)[Th(eta(5)-C2B9H11)(2)X-2] (X=Cl, Br, I) and [Li(THF)(4)][Th( eta(5)-C2B9H11)Br-3(THF)], have been prepared and characterized by a c ombination of spectroscopic and analytical techniques, The molecular s tructure of the dibromo derivative has been determined by single-cryst al X-ray diffraction. [Li(THF)(4)](2)[Th(eta(5)-C2B9H11)(2)Br-2] is mo noclinic, Cc (No, 9), a=26.303 (2) Angstrom, b=11.143 (2) Angstrom, c= 20.054 (2) Angstrom, beta=103.263 (7)degrees, Z=4.
