Abstract
The structures of the metallacarborane cations [(η-9-Me2S-7,8-C2B9H10)Ni(μ-Cp)Ni(η-9-Me2S-7,8-C2B9H10)]+ (2) and [Cp*Ru(Me2S-C2B9H10)RuCp*]+ (4b) were established by X-ray diffraction analysis. These results confirmed the triple-decker structure proposed for complex 2 earlier, whereas complex 4b proved to be 13-vertex dimetallacarborane rather than the triple-decker complex, as has been suggested earlier.
