Quantitative thermal rearrangement of an eleven-vertex metalladicarbaborane to give the isomeric cluster nido-[2-(η6-C6Me6)-8,10-Me2-2,8,10-OsC2B8H8] with an unexpected BCBCB open face
Abstract
The molecular structure of the title compound exhibits a five-membered [graphic omitted] open face and is thereby fundamentally different from the closo-nature previously assumed and generally accepted for this type of polyhedral metalladicarbaborane cluster compound.
