title: Triple linking of the decaboranyl cluster. Structure of [(SMe2)2B10H10(B10H13)2] as determined by synchrotron X-ray diffraction analysis.
abstract: In an attempt to find generic routes to multiple inter-cluster sigma-linking, mild thermolysis of [6,9-(SMe2)2-arachno-B10H12] 1 in inert hydrocarbon solution gives the tridecaboranyl species [6,9-(SMe2)2-arachno-B10H(10)-1,5-(6'-nido-B10H13)2] 3 (23%).
