Abstract

The new 11-vertex nido-diphosphaborane, 7,9-Ph 2- nido-7,9-P 2B 9H 9, has been synthesized by the reaction of Me 4N +[ nido-B 9H 12 −] with PhPCl 2 in the presence of NaH. A single crystal X-ray diffraction determination and DFT/GIAO/NMR methods have both established that the compound has an open cage structure containing the phosphorus atoms in non-adjacent positions on the open face.
