Abstract: Abstract Reaction of the thallium salt Tl[7,8-Me2-10-SMe2-7,8-nido-C2B9H8] with [(cod)RhCl]2 in THF furnishes new rhodacarborane 1,2-Me2-3,3-(cod)-8-SMe2-3,1,2-closo-RhC2B9H8 (1). The latter undergoes 1,2 → 1,7 carbon atom isomerization upon reflux in o-xylene for 5 h producing complex 1,8-Me2-2,2-(cod)-11-SMe2-2,1,8-closo-RhC2B9H8 (2). Reaction of… read more here.
