Abstract

By electrochemical oxidation of [B6H6]2- in the presence of nitrite ions and of the base DBU in dichlorom ethane solution the μ-nitroso-bis(pentahydrohexaborate) [B6H5(NO)B6H5]3- ion is formed and can be isolated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose. The crystal structure of the Cs salt has been determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Cs3[B6H5(NO)B6H5] is orthorhombic, space group Pnma with a = 16.2303(13), b = 12.245(6), c = 25.444(2) Å. The unit cell contains three crystallographically independent anions with nearly C2v symmetry but differently distorted B6 cages
