[1-Me-1-closo-SnB11 H-11](-) as a potential weakly coordinating anion: Synthesis of Rh(PPh3)(2)(1-Me-closo-SnB11 H-11) and comparisons with Rh(PR3)(2) (1-H-closo-CB11 H-(11))

The closo-stannaborane salt [Rh(PPh3)2-(nbd)][1-Me-1- closo-SnB11H11] reacts with H2 in CH 2Cl2 solution to afford the contact ion-pair Rh(PPh 3)2(1-Me-closo-SnB11H11), which has been characterized in solution and the solid state by X-ray diffraction. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
