title: Isomeric icosaboranes B20H26: the synchrotron structure of 1,1'-bis(nido-decaboranyl).
abstract: An isomer of B20H26, isolated from the autolysis of nido-B10H14 in a silent electrical discharge, is shown to be the title compound 1,1'-bis(nido-decaboranyl). The molecule has crystallographic inversion symmetry and a long intercage B-B bond of 1.704 (3) A.
