The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The novel eighteen-vertex macropolyhedral dithiaborane anion [S2B16H17](-) 1 has been obtained as its [tmndH](+) salt from the reaction of [S2B17H17] 2 and tmnd in solution in the presence of [RhCl2(eta(5)-C5Me5)](2). It has two cluster skeletal electrons more than the three previously reported eighteen-vertex dithiaborane {S2B16} species n-[S2B16H16], n-[S2B16H15](-) and iso-[S2B16H16], and the anion consists structurally of an arachno {SB9} and a nido {B-9} cluster unit fused with two boron atoms in common, and with an endo-to-exo sulfur bridge that also links the two subclusters together.
