Abstract
The reaction of the iodide complex [(η5-C9H2Me5)RhI2]2 (1) or the acetonitrile complex [(η5-C9H2Me5)Rh(MeCN)3]2+ with Tl[Tl(η-7,8-C2B9H11)] afforded rhodacarborane (η5-C9H2Me5)Rh(7,8-C2B9H11) (2). The cationic triple-decker complex with the bridging boratabenzene ligand [Cp*Fe(μ-η:η-C5H3Me2BMe)Rh(η5-C9H2Me5)]2+ (3) was synthesized by the reaction of the nitromethane solvate [(η5-C9H2Me5)Rh(MeNO2)3]2+ with the sandwich compound Cp*Fe(η-C5H3Me2BMe). The structure of 2 was established by X-ray diffraction.
