Bi- and tri-metallic {Cp*RhCl} fragments partnered with carborane monoanions [CB11H6Y6](-) (Y = H, Br): control of nuclearity by choice of anion
Reaction of [Cp*RhCl2]2 (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) with Ag[closo-CB11H12] affords the dinuclear salt [Cp*RhCl]2[CB11H12]2 (1), which in the solid state reveals a single carborane anion interacting with two {Cp*RhCl} fragments, via two B-H-Rh interactions. With Ag[closo-CB11H6Br6] the trimet...
