Abstract
A new type of inner-sphere isomerism in coordination chemistry observed in metal complexes with boron cluster anions B n H 2− n (n = 10, 12) is discussed. Specific structure of the closo-borohydride anions gives rise to edge and facial isomers, among which mirror isomers have been found. Examples of edge and facial isomers of metal complexes with the B10H 2−10 and B12H 2−12 , anions obtained experimentally and studied by X-ray diffraction are considered. Analysis of their structure revealed a new type of isomerism, which was called “positional.”
