Abstract

The (borole)iodide complex [(η 5-C 4H 4BPh)RhI] 4 reacts with the carborane anion [Carb′] − (Carb′ = 9-SMe 2-7,8-C 2B 9H 10) giving (Carb′)Rh(η 5-C 4H 4BPh) ( 2). Reactions of 2 with dicationic fragments [LM] 2+ afford the μ-borole triple-decker complexes [(Carb′)Rh(μ-η 5:η 5-C 4H 4BPh)ML] 2+ [LM = Cp ∗Ir ( 4), (Carb′)Rh ( 7)] or the arene-type complexes [(Carb′)Rh(μ-η 5:η 6-C 4H 4BPh)ML] 2+ [LM = Cp ∗Rh ( 3), (Carb′)Ir ( 8)]. The structure of 4(BF 4) 2 was determined by X-ray diffraction.
