Abstract

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 trimetallic complex [{Cp*Rh(μ₂-Cl)}₃(μ₃-Cl)] [closo-CB₁₁H₆Br₆]₂ (2) results. In the solid state, three metal fragments and four chloride ligands form seven-corners of a cube, and the eighth vertex is completed by a cage C-H unit hydrogen bonded to three bridging chloride ligands.
